Report
A quick and easy tangy vinaigrette that's perfect for summer salads and doubles as a marinade.
Share:
Ingredients
- 4 lemons juiced
- 1 clove garlic minced
- ½ cup olive oil
- 1½ tsp Dijon mustard
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp honey
Instructions
- Place the lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, mustard, salt, pepper and honey in a clean jar.
- Seal the lid and shake vigorously for a minute or two until completely emulsified.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to a week.
Notes
- Fresh Ingredients: Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor. Avoid bottled lemon juice, as it lacks the bright, vibrant taste of fresh lemons.
- Adjusting Seasoning: Taste the vinaigrette before serving and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add more salt for extra flavor, a touch of honey for sweetness, or a splash of vinegar for acidity, depending on your preferences.
- Marinating: Use the lemon vinaigrette as a marinade for grilled meats, seafood, or tofu. Let the protein marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight) before cooking for maximum flavor infusion.
- Refreshing Leftovers: If your vinaigrette separates in the refrigerator, simply let it come to room temperature and give it a good shake or whisk before using it again. The flavors will re-emulsify, and the vinaigrette will be as delicious as ever.
- Double Batch: Consider making a double batch of the lemon vinaigrette and storing it in individual portion-sized containers. This way, you'll have homemade dressing on hand whenever you need it, making meal prep a breeze.
