Lemon Dijon Dressing Recipe

Steps:

  • In a bowl, toss together all the ingredients until everything is well coated with the dressing, then serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will be slightly less bright.
  • Use a good quality Dijon mustard. The mustard is one of the main ingredients in this dressing, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a Dijon mustard that is made with whole grain mustard seeds and has a sharp, tangy flavor.
  • Taste the dressing before you serve it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more lemon juice, Dijon mustard, or honey to taste.
  • This dressing is best when used fresh, but it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. When you're ready to use it, let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Lemon Dijon dressing is a versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of salads, vegetables, and proteins. It's light and refreshing, with a bright citrus flavor and a slight tang from the Dijon mustard. It's also very easy to make, with just a few simple ingredients. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight dinner or a special dressing for your next party, Lemon Dijon dressing is a great option.
