This is so easy and sooo good!
My friend Gen came up with this one. (Look for more recipes from Gen in the future, he’s an AWESOME cook).
Lemon Vinaigrette Dressing Recipe
Ingredients:
4 lemons
1 tbsp honey
2 tbsps dijon mustard
salt and pepper to taste
1/2-3/4 cup of olive oil
Directions:
Blend the first 4 ingredients in a blender or food processor until combined. Then (while the blender or food processor is running) slowly drizzle in olive oil
Done!
Feel free to add more or less honey depending on how sweet you’d like this to be.
You blend the whole lemon? This is my FAVORITE salad dressing. I eat a salad at lunch and dinner everyday with this dressing. I don’t even buy store dressing anymore, because SURPRISE: most of them contain HFCS! I don’t have a food processor so my trick is to put it all in a little jar and shake it up; makes for good portability, too.
Sorry I wasn’t clear. Yes you blend the JUICE of four whole lemons. Thanks for the tip!
That sounds Delish! Can’t wait to try it!
I had a salad last weekend that came with balsamic vinaigrette and a balsamic syrup meant as a garnish – I just poured the balsamic syrup on, and it was DELICIOUS!!!! You can make it by simply pouring a bottle of balsamic vinegar int a pot and letting it boil for about 30-45 minutes until it reduces by about a third. After it cools, pour it into a bottle. I store it in the fridge! YUMMY on a salad, and you don’t need any oil!
@BDADIVA I NEVER thought of that one. Thanks!
@Marissa lemme know how it turns out!
my husband is cleansing this week to prep for an elimination diet and this recipe works very well with what he is doing. I tossed it with spinach, avocado, and strawberries to accompany dinner.
my standard is usually olive oil, white balsamic vinegar, whatever fresh herbs we have around, salt and pepper.
Hi Kia! Welcome. That salad sounds delish!
[...] 15. Stop buying salad dressing – $5 for oil and high-fructose corn syrup? I don’t think so. Salad dressing is one of the easiest things to make. The easiest dressing? Olive oil and Balsamic vinegar. Or here’s try this recipe for Lemon Vinaigrette Dressing. [...]
This looks very delicious. Vegetables are very necessary for health. Maybe I`ll try it next Sunday.Thanks.
@Anne thank you! Please do and let me know how you like it!
Wow! Simple & delicious!!! Thank you for the recipe!! I’ll also try that balsamic reduction.
YUM!
