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.
Mix lemon juice and olive oil in a shake-able container. Add water and shake well.
Press garlic into vinaigrette.
Add sea salt, pepper, thyme, and basil.
Shake well and refrigerate until ready to use.
Enjoy over the top of your favorite salad or as a marinade for fish or shrimp.
A few favorite Salad Recipes that are delicious with Lemon Vinaigrette you also might love are:

This sounds wonderful! I love lemon and garlic together!
ReplyDeleteI love this for a fish marinade! Excellent :)
ReplyDeleteFreshly made vinaigrette always best. Love the flavor they add to the salad.
ReplyDeleteRed wine vinaigrette is my favorite! This one sounds yummy too!
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful dressing. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOh I love this! And later in winter it will be the perfect memory of summertime :)
ReplyDeleteThis 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!
ReplyDeletethat sounds like a delicious dressing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic vinaigrette! How long do you think it would last in the fridge?

I believe it should last a week in the fridge in a covered container with no problems! Have a fabulous week!

ReplyDeleteLovely recipe I can't wait to try. Pinned & shared.
ReplyDeleteWe have so many lemons on our tree, can hardly wait to try this recipe!
ReplyDeleteWhen I put it in the fridge the olive oil hardens up, can I leave it on the counter?
ReplyDeleteI 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
DeleteThis is delicious. I put it on everything especially salads and roasted vegatables.
