Say goodbye to store bought salad dressings and make this simple, zesty, lemon vinaigrette with ingredients you likely have on hand. Use in salads or as a marinade for chicken, shrimp, or vegetables.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup olive oil (extra virgin)
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar
  • 1 garlic clove (minced)
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp dry mustard
  • 1/2 tsp onion salt
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/8 tsp dried thyme

Directions

  1. 1

    In a liquid measuring cup or bowl, combine all of the ingredients.

  2. 2

    Whisk until the ingredients are well combined.

  3. 3

    Use immediately, or cover and refrigerate for future use. Sammy's notes: homemade vinaigrette keeps well for about 7 days in the fridge. If your vinaigrette solidifies in the fridge, let come to room temperature before serving. This is totally normal, real olive oil does that!

    Enjoy!
