I always have been intimidated by vinaigrette’s since I never gave myself the opportunity to make them. However, they’re actually quite easy and a much healthier option than creamy, store-bought dressings that have more ingredients than you would care to read let alone try to pronounce. This was my first one I tried making and I was very happy with it! I hope you are as well, definitely try it over your strawberry spinach salad next time you make it!

  1. Juice your lemons into a medium sized bowl, making sure not to get any seeds in it.

Tip: I made mine and put it in a squeeze bottle for easy drizzles for later on. Just be sure to shake it up after it sits for a while as the oil likes to separate.
