Making from-scratch vinaigrettes is no big mystery, nor is it difficult. It's as simple as having just a few ingredients on-hand in your pantry. They taste infinitely better than any processed, bottled and preservative-laden dressings and aren't loaded with any unhealthy fats or high fructose corn syrup. This particular vinaigrette uses four ingredients you most likely have on hand all the time. It's a bit tart, so drizzle carefully over the greens - just enough to moisten them.
Lemon Vinaigrette
¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (2 lemons)
½ cup good extra virgin olive oil
½ tsp. kosher salt
¼ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
Whisk all the ingredients together in a small bowl. Pour as desired over salad greens or serve as a dipping oil with bread cubes.
NOTE: This is just a base recipe. Feel free to add other flavors to it, such as a minced clove or two of garlic. I added about a teaspoon of dried Italian seasoning.
