Pick your favorite herb (or two!)
to feature in this easy lemon-herb vinaigrette thats perfect tossed with grilled veggies.
Its easily adapted to whatever herbs and citrus you have on hand.
Be sure to shake well before serving.
The garlic is delicious but bold here; use fewer cloves if you want to tone it down.
Olive Orange Vinaigrette
Minced olives add a briny flavor to this healthy homemade salad dressing.
Try it on a salad with sliced red onion and fresh oranges.
Serve over torn romaine lettuce.
Try it on a salad with fresh strawberries and spinach or arugula.
The garlic cooks just enough to mellow its flavor, and maple syrup balances the acidity nicely.
It works well tossed with anything from delicate greens like butterhead to hardier greens like escarole.
Try it drizzled over roasted veggies or tossed with cooked grains.
