Description

A bright and tangy Lemon Vinaigrette Dressing that combines fresh lemon juice with olive oil, dijon mustard, and a blend of herbs and seasonings. Perfect for salads or as a zesty marinade, this easy-to-make dressing comes together in minutes and adds a fresh, vibrant flavor to your dishes.


Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp white vinegar
  • 1 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic (pressed)
  • 2 tsp white sugar
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper


Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a dressing container or mason jar, add the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, white vinegar, dijon mustard, pressed garlic cloves, white sugar, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
  2. Emulsify the Dressing: Whisk the mixture vigorously until the ingredients are well combined and the dressing has emulsified, meaning the oil and lemon juice blend together without separating.
  3. Store and Use: Transfer the dressing to an airtight container and refrigerate. Before each use, whisk or shake the dressing well to recombine the ingredients. Enjoy it as a refreshing addition to salads or as a marinade.

Notes

  • Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor impact.
  • This dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Shake or whisk well before each use to maintain an even consistency.
  • Adjust the amount of sugar or salt according to your taste preferences.
  • For a stronger garlic flavor, mince the garlic instead of pressing.
