Lemon Vinaigrette is a homemade salad dressing that can’t get much simpler. This recipe takes just a tiny bit longer than it does to dig out a bottle of store bought dressing out of the refrigerator. Plus, it doesn’t have the excess sodium, sugar, preservatives, or artificial ingredients found in bottled dressing.
Eater’s Tip: The only trick to this recipe is having a fresh lemon on hand. A squeeze of lemon juice is also a good addition on roasted or sauteed veggies so it’s a useful ingredient to have in your kitchen. I grab one every time I’m in the grocery store so I know I’ll have one. Substitute vinegar is you don’t have a lemon.
