I have a new found love for Lemon Vinaigrette  after having a side salad at Fleetwoods On Maui

They made a fabulous butter lettuce side salad with a Lemon Vinaigrette dressing. With executive chef Scott Leibfried of Hells Kitchen you know the food was divine!

So for the first meal back at the good old homestead I decided to reconstruct the lemon vinaigrette.

I am now even more in love then I was the first time I tried it, and it made an amazing marinade for the Salmon I will post later.

  7. This sounds great. I have done a lemon ginger vinaigrette but not with garlic. Lemon as a base is great for summer. So light and refreshing!

  12. When I put it in the fridge the olive oil hardens up, can I leave it on the counter?

    1. I feel it's safer to store it in the fridge and just remove 20 minutes before using, you can also place the jar in some warm water to help the olive oil return to room temprature faster. Thanks,Serena

  16. In your instructions with the pictures you say to add the water with the lemon and EVOO but then in your list of ingredients and THOSE instructions you say not to add the water. Which one is it?

    1. Shake the dressing, taste and add the water if your lemons are strong to make it milder. Not everyone likes too tart of lemon and some lemons have a lot more flavor or can be more over powering then others.. Some also are so mild the water isn't needed. Sorry for the confusion. I updated the recipe card and must have missed that line in the step by step directions when I made the adjustment to the recipe based on feed back. Thanks, Serena
