This lemon vinaigrette has been our go-to homemade dressing, and works oh so well with nearly any salad combination. It’s great for citrus lovers, and combines a perfect balance of sweet, tang, and salt to enhance a garden salad.

We love that it’s quick to assemble, and easy to modify the quantity (by maintaining the ratio), whether we are making a weeknight salad for two, or hosting a dinner party.
