This is my go-to lemon vinaigrette recipe. It's delicious on a simple green salad, a Cobb salad, or even roasted vegetables. It's bright, healthy, and can be made ahead of time.
Lemon Vinaigrette
I may be biased, but I think this is the best lemon vinaigrette recipe. It's much better than the dressings you find in the supermarket, it's cheap, and it uses clean ingredients. Plus, it only takes a few minutes to make and it keeps for a week. It would be great in a berry and pecan salad, arugula salmon salad, or a kale and Brussels sprouts salad.
Why You'll Love This Lemon Vinaigrette Recipe
I never buy bottled dressings. It's so much better when I make it from scratch. I put lemon on arugula salad, asparagus salad, butter lettuce, etc.
