Lemon Vinaigrette - quick & easy
I love a good salad with a vinaigrette, but I don’t like many store bought dressings, which have added sugars, preservatives and other unnecessary ingredients. This recipe is a quick and easy lemon vinaigrette that I really enjoy, especially when my salad includes chicken or fish. The flavor is bright and zingy! Lemon Vinaigrette: 1/2 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil 1/4 Cup Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice 1 tsp Dijon Mustard Salt & Pepper to taste Rinse your lemons first under cold running water for about 20 seconds before juicing. Then combine everything in a mason jar and shake until emulsified (looking nice and creamy). You can also whisk in a bowl. If the dressing is a little too acidic, add more olive oil. Refrigerate for up to one week. *If you want to add even more lemon flavor, add 1 tsp of grated lemon zest. Also don’t forget, olive oil can solidify in the fridge, so pull the vinaigrette out about 10-15 minutes before you need it. Hope you enjoy! Eat well. Chef Jenny
