Lemon Vinaigrette Recipe
This lemon vinaigrette dressing is easy to make with fresh lemon, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, olive oil, and salt and pepper. It's simple, with big flavor!
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 lemons zest and juice (about ¼ cup juice)
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
- In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
- Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously until the vinaigrette emulsifies. Taste and adjust with more salt or lemon juice.
- Store in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Shake well before using.
Notes
Recipe makes about 3/4 cup.
- My Top Tip: Stream in the olive oil slowly and whisk constantly. This helps the dressing emulsify. If you pour it too quickly, the dressing could split and taste greasy.
- Storage: Keep in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 1 week. Shake well before using.
