Lemon Vinaigrette
Prep Time: 5 min | Yield: Makes twenty-four 2-teaspoon servings of vinaigrette or sixteen 1-tablespoon servings of creamy dressing
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon peel
- 1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme or 1/8 teaspoon dried (optional)

In a bowl or a jar with a tight-fitting lid, whisk or shake together the oil, lemon juice, water, lemon peel, thyme (if using), garlic, and salt. Refrigerate. Remove and discard the garlic before serving.

- This vinaigrette is a fabulous marinade for chicken, fish, or shrimp; marinate for 2 hours before cooking.
- This vinaigrette is also great drizzled over microgreens.
