Description
This simple lemon vinaigrette bright, sunny and versatile. Use it in veggie salads, pasta salads, grain salads, or as a fish/meat marinade.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/4 cup fresh juice from lemons (usually 2-4 lemons, depending on how juicy)
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 small shallot, finely diced
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (whole grain or regular both work)
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Add to jar. Add all ingredients to a jar that can be sealed tightly (I love Weck or mason jars), and seal the lid.
- Shake. Shake the jar vigorously to combine the ingredients.
Notes
- Blender method. If you want a smoother consistency, you can also blend the ingredients together. When I don't feel like cleaning a blender (which is usually :)), I opt for a jar.
