LEMON VINAIGRETTE DRESSING



Lemon Vinaigrette Dressing image

This vibrant dressing requires extra-virgin olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and fresh oregano. Toss it with baby greens for a cooling side dish salad. Or, use torn romaine lettuce and add tomato chunks, chopped cucumber, crumbled feta cheese, and sliced olives to make the salad more substantial. I got this recipe from a local news television channel.

Time 15m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons minced fresh oregano (or 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper (to taste)
1/8 teaspoon salt (to taste)

Steps:

  • Whisk together all of the ingredients in a small bowl, making certain the sugar is dissolved. Adjust the seasonings to taste.
  • Let sit for an hour or so, and then whisk again before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe lemons: Using ripe lemons will ensure that your dressing has a bright, tart flavor. Look for lemons that are heavy for their size and have a smooth, unblemished skin.
  • Zest the lemons before juicing them: Zesting the lemons before juicing them will help you get more flavor out of the lemons. Use a fine grater to zest the lemons, being careful not to grate the white pith.
  • Use a high-powered blender: A high-powered blender is essential for making a smooth and creamy dressing. If you don't have a high-powered blender, you can try using a food processor, but the results may not be as smooth.
  • Add the ingredients in the correct order: When making the dressing, be sure to add the ingredients in the correct order. Start with the lemon juice and zest, then add the cashews, nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper. Finally, add the water and blend until smooth.
  • Taste the dressing and adjust the seasonings as needed: Once the dressing is made, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more lemon juice, salt, or pepper to taste.

This lemon cream dressing is a delicious and versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of salads, vegetables, and even fruits. It is also a great way to add some extra nutrients to your diet.
