Experience effortless flavor with our remarkable Simple Lemon Vinaigrette. Perfect for salads and dishes, it enhances your meals with minimal effort.
Ingredients
Scale
2 large lemons (for about 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice)
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional for a bit of tang)
1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (for sweetness, optional)
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 garlic clove (minced, optional)
Fresh herbs like basil or parsley (for added flavor)
Instructions
Step 1: Juice the Lemons – Start by rolling the lemons on the counter to loosen the juices. Cut them in half and juice them into a measuring cup, ensuring to catch any seeds.
Step 2: Combine Ingredients – In a medium-sized bowl or a jar with a lid, combine the fresh lemon juice with olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey or maple syrup, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
Step 3: Whisk or Shake – If using a bowl, whisk the mixture vigorously until emulsified. If using a jar, secure the lid and shake it well until all ingredients are thoroughly blended.
Step 4: Taste Test – Give your vinaigrette a taste test! Adjust the seasoning by adding extra salt, pepper, or herbs as desired for a personalized touch.
Step 5: Serve it Up – Your vinaigrette is ready to serve! Drizzle it over your favorite salads, grilled proteins, or veggies to add a burst of flavor.
