Lemon Vinaigrette Dressing
Description
This Lemon Vinaigrette Dressing combines olive oil and freshly squeezed lemon juice with white vinegar and Dijon mustard, which acts as an emulsifier to blend the oil and acid components. Pressed garlic adds pungency while dried oregano contributes an aromatic herb flavor. A touch of white sugar balances the acidity, and salt with black pepper rounds out the seasoning.
Whisking the ingredients thoroughly results in a well-emulsified dressing that coats greens or vegetables evenly. The vibrant acidity of lemon juice paired with olive oil creates a fresh and lively flavor suitable for many salad types or as a marinade for grilled foods. Stored in an airtight container in the fridge, the dressing maintains its flavor but should be shaken or whisked before each use to recombine.
This vinaigrette is naturally gluten- and dairy-free, making it an adaptable choice for different dietary needs when ingredients are verified. Its bright taste provides a clean finish to simple or complex salads.
