Lemon Vinaigrette Recipe
Description
The Lemon Vinaigrette Recipe blends tangy fresh lemon juice with good-quality extra virgin olive oil, a touch of spicy brown mustard, minced garlic, dried oregano, sea salt, and ground black pepper. The ingredients emulsify to form a cohesive dressing that carries the bright acidity of lemon balanced with herbaceous and savory notes from garlic and oregano.
Preparation involves whisking or shaking the ingredients in a jar until combined. Allowing the dressing to rest for at least 10 minutes before serving helps meld the flavors for a more rounded taste experience. This vinaigrette is versatile as a salad dressing or drizzle for cooked vegetables.
Leftover vinaigrette stores safely covered in the refrigerator for up to five days. The recipe was updated for flavor improvements but originally dates back to 2010.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup lemon juice fresh
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon brown mustard spicy
- 1 garlic finely minced, clove
- ½ teaspoon oregano dried
- ½ teaspoon salt sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper ground
Instructions
- In an 8-ounce or larger mason jar, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, mustard, garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well with a whisk or spoon. Or, secure the lid on the jar and shake well until the dressing looks emulsified.
- This dressing tastes best if you can let it rest at least 10 minutes before serving, so the flavors can meld. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Let the vinaigrette rest at least 10 minutes for better flavor melding before serving.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container refrigerated for up to 5 days.
- Use fresh lemon juice for best acidity and brightness.
