Lemon Salad Dressing Recipe (Lemon Vinaigrette)
Here's an easy-to-make lemon salad dressing that's bright and bursting with fresh lemon flavor. Use it to dress up a simple green salad, as a marinade for chicken or fish, or drizzled over your favorite roasted veggies. This versatile lemon vinaigrette uses mostly pantry ingredients, and is ready in just a few shakes!
Ingredients
- 2 lemons, about ½ cup lemon juice
- ½ cup avocado oil, see notea
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon minced chives, optional
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to a 2-cup mason jar.2 lemons, ½ cup avocado oil, 1 tablespoon white vinegar, 1 tablespoon honey, 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, 1 clove garlic, 1 teaspoon minced chives
- Shake it until the dressing begins to look creamy, about 1 minute. Store the dressing in the jar in your fridge for up to 10 days.
Notes
Oil: I like to use avocado oil in this recipe as it doesn't harden in the fridge. If you choose to use olive oil, let the dressing warm to room temperature, then shake it well before using.
How long does it keep in the fridge? Store this lemon salad dressing in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to a week!
Can I use a different type of vinegar? Yes, apple cider vinegar works especially well in its place, or just more lemon juice.
Can I use a different type of sweetener? I recommend pure maple syrup as an alternative to honey.
