Lemon Vinaigrette
Report
This quick and easy homemade lemon vinaigrette only needs 6 ingredients and 5 minutes to make. It's better than bottled dressing and makes a tangy, light lemon dressing for everything from steamed veg, to grain bowls and of course leafy salads.

Ingredients
- 2 large cloves garlic minced
- 1½ tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 large lemon
- 1½ teaspoons Diamond Crystal kosher salt or 1 teaspoon Morton's kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- ½ cup + 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Zest the lemon on a microplane grater. Set aside.
- Juice the lemon with a press until you have about 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice (if your lemon doesn't have that much juice, squeeze another half of a lemon.)
- In a small bowl add the minced garlic, dijon mustard, lemon zest, lemon juice, kosher salt and black pepper. Whisk to combine.
- Add the oil in a steady stream, whisking constantly to emulsify. Drizzle over salads, steamed vegetables, chicken and seafood.
Notes
- Each serving is about 2 tablespoons. The key to dressing a salad is to toss it very well with salad tongs so that the dressing lightly coats everything in the salad.
