This light vinaigrette is easy to make and lends a tangy, refreshing flavor to all manner of foods!

The lemon zest and lemon juice brighten everything they touch, whether used as a marinade, a salad dressing, or just a drizzle. Since it could hardly be easier to make, I recommend keeping some on hand at all times. I know I do.

-Rebecca Katz, author of The Longevity Kitchen cookbook

Ingredients

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. Put the balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, pepper, in a small bowl and stir to combine.
  2. Slowly pour in the olive oil, whisking all the while, and continue whisking until smooth.
  3. Transfer to a small container with a fitted lid and shake well.

Cook’s Note: Add the salt with the acid but prior to adding the oil. The reason? The acid breaks down the salt, allowing it to do its job as a flavor carrier.

Try this dressing on Strawberry, Fennel & Arugula Salad!

Prep time: 5 minutes
Storage: Store in a glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
