LEMON HERB VINAIGRETTE

This dressing is good on so many different foods. Try it on salad greens (naturally), baked or grilled fish, grilled chicken, shrimp, and pasta salad.

HOW TO EMULSIFY SALAD DRESSING

First, add all the ingredients together in a bowl except the olive oil. Next, add the oil. When incorporating the oil, don’t add it all at once. While whisking, slowly add the olive oil in a slow stream until it’s all added and the vinaigrette is emulsified.

I most often have one of my boys help with easy things like this in the kitchen. Alternately, you can add all the ingredients to a canning jar, place the lid on tightly and shake until the ingredients are combined and smooth.

HOW TO STORE THIS SALAD DRESSING

• Keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator until you’re ready to use it.
• Homemade dressings don’t have preservatives in them. Therefore, they will last up to two weeks. (Using it won’t be hard though because you’ll want to put it on everything!)
