Lemon Vinaigrette

This easy lemon vinaigrette recipe is a great one to have in your back pocket. It’s delicious and versatile – perfect for tossing with salads, roasted vegetables, and more!  No vinegar makes a difference.

Ingredients:

¼ c fresh lemon juice
1 small garlic clove, grated
1 tsp Dijon mustard
¼ tsp sea salt, more to taste
Freshly ground black pepper
½ tsp honey, or maple syrup, optional (honey used)
¼ to ⅓ c extra-virgin olive oil
½ tsp fresh or dried thyme, optional (not used)

Directions:

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, garlic, mustard, salt, pepper, and honey, if using.
  2. Drizzle in the olive oil while whisking and continue to whisk until the dressing is emulsified. Alternatively, combine everything in a jar with a tight-fitting lid and shake to combine.
  3. If your dressing is too tangy, add more olive oil, to taste.
  4. Add the thyme, if desired, and season to taste.
  5. Store in the fridge for up to 1 week. The olive oil will solidify a bit in the fridge. To soften, let the dressing sit at room temp for a few minutes and stir before using.

Notes:  Use a jar!!  Honey takes a little effort to incorporate.

Serves:  Makes 1/2 cup.
