Notes
- Notes:
- Add more if you like your dressing a bit creamier.
- I think
- lemon garlic vinaigrette is delicious but for a milder flavor you can use a small minced shallot instead.
- but I like my dressings less oily and more flavorful, so I use a ratio of 2:1. As always, adjust to your liking.
- Simply remove the salad dressing at least 5 minutes before using to allow the olive oil to loosen in terms of consistency.
- This is completely natural since oil and vinegar do not mix. All you have to do is give it a gentle shake before drizzling over your meal of choice.
- The video in the recipe card shows you how to make three different quinoa salads using this simple lemon vinaigrette recipe.
- The Dijon mustard adds a hint of spice and helps the dressing emulsify. Add more if you like your dressing a bit creamier.
- Swap in minced shallot for garlic: I think lemon garlic vinaigrette is delicious but for a milder flavor you can use a small minced shallot instead.
- A classic vinaigrette recipe calls for a ratio of 3:1 oil to acid, but I like my dressings less oily and more flavorful, so I use a ratio of 2:1. As always, adjust to your liking.
- When storing, the olive oil may solidify in the fridge. Simply remove the salad dressing at least 5 minutes before using to allow the olive oil to loosen in terms of consistency.
- The lemon juice and olive oil will separate in the fridge. This is completely natural since oil and vinegar do not mix. All you have to do is give it a gentle shake before drizzling over your meal of choice.
