Zesty Lemon Dijon Vinaigrette
This zesty lemon dijon vinaigrette is tangy and bright in flavors. You only need 5 minutes or less to make this quick and easy dressing!
Ingredients
- 2 lemons zested and juiced (use medium sized lemons)
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard (start with 1 teaspoon and add more if desired)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Zest the lemons using a microplane grater, box grater or zester. Juice the lemons after zesting them.
- Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, dijon mustard, maple syrup, extra virgin olive oil, salt and black pepper to a small bowl. Whisk together vigorously until combined.
- Taste the vinaigrette and adjust the seasonings to your preference. If you want a stronger dijon flavor add another 1-2 teaspoons of mustard. This vinaigrette works well as a salad dressing or marinate.
Notes
- This vinaigrette has just a hint of dijon mustard. Feel free to add more (2-3 teaspoons) if you want a stronger dijon flavor.
- Store the lemon maple dressing in an airtight container or jar in the fridge for up to 1 week.
- The olive oil in the dressing will solidify as it gets cold in the fridge. This is normal and okay! Take the dressing out of the fridge 15 minutes before you want to use it. This will help bring the oil back to room temperature and it will liquify again.
- Remember to shake well before using.
