Lemon Vinaigrette

I love this vinaigrette. It's so simple, so fresh, uses so few ingredients. But I've been finding lately it needs another kick. Consider replacing lemon juice with 3 tablespoons of lemon juice plus 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar for an extra kick to it.

Yields1 Serving
Prep Time5 mins
 ½ cup olive oil
 ¼ cup lemon juice
 salt and pepper to taste
 1 tsp Dijon mustard, optional (you won't taste it but it helps to emulsify the dressing)
 2 garlic cloves, optional
 1 tsp shallot, optional
 1 tsp honey, optional
1

Whisk everything together until well emulsified.

The ratio here is 2:1 as lemon juice is not as potent as vinegar. So simple and so delicious. I use it on salads, to top baked fish, even in my Greek Salad.
