Quick Lemon Vinaigrette
Description
The vinaigrette dressing is made by blending olive oil with fresh lemon juice and white vinegar, sweetened lightly with granulated sugar and emulsified with Dijon mustard for a creamy texture. Minced garlic can be added for additional flavor, along with fresh herbs like chives, dill, or parsley. Salt and black pepper season the dressing to taste.
This dressing provides refreshing acidity from lemon and vinegar balanced by oil and mild sweetness. It can be used to dress green salads and vegetable dishes, offering a zesty complement. The preparation involves simply shaking all ingredients together in a jar until combined.
For storage, keep the vinaigrette refrigerated and consume within a few days, especially if it contains fresh garlic, to maintain freshness and safety.
