Bright and Fresh Lemon Vinaigrette

Lemon vinaigrette is one of the freshest ways to experience the summer! A pop of sweet and sour lemony flavor can help to brighten, tang, and level up a variety of different salads and chicken dishes. 

There are so many versatile salad dressings out there, but none more than the vinaigrette. Making a grain bowl have a burst of flavor, toss some cooked veggies for some brightness, or drizzling over a nice chicken right before it touches the table. Vinaigrettes are a delicious accoutrement to just about any dish.

This lemon vinaigrette is no slouch either. Since it has such a delicious lemony and bright burst of flavor, it allows it to go many places other dressings dare not. Enjoy it on a nice piece of grilled white fish. Or maybe an especially peppery arugula salad with red onion and apple for a combination you won’t soon regret. 

My favorite however, is with a juicy watermelon salad. I highly implore you to make it sometime. Preferably in the summer while the watermelon is still fresh!

This is a super simple 5 minute recipe. The most work that you’ll be doing is juicing the lemons. They say “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” Well why not lemon vinaigrette? 

Blenders are a very useful tool in the kitchen. Wether it’s a standing countertop blender or a stick (immersion) blender, having one on hand is a game changer. Especially when making vinaigrettes and refreshing drinks!

To Make the Lemon Vinaigrette

Start by Juicing the lemon into a bowl deep enough to whisk in. You may do all steps in the blender to make it much easier.

Now add the vinegar, salt, honey, and dijon into a bowl and whisk together.

Next, slowly add the oil a little at a time while you whisk. Continue to do so until there is no more oil left and the liquid comes together into a delicious vinaigrette.

Finally, serve over your favorite dishes. I really like it in my watermelon salad right now.

This will keep in the fridge for up to a week.
