Lemon Garlic Vinaigrette – a super easy homemade dressing that is a little tart, and perfect for salads or pasta.
There is just something about a homemade salad dressing that is so much better than the bottled stuff from the store. I am always partial to a vinaigrette dressing, and sometimes the ones at the store are so watery you don’t get much flavor.
Well not with this one! Tons of garlic, and lemon make this tart, fresh, and so tasty!
What In Lemon Garlic Vinaigrette Dressing
Be sure to scroll to the bottom of the post for the FULL PRINTABLE recipe card.
- Lemon Juice – fresh squeezed is definitely the best for this, you really want that bright lemon juice flavor to shine.
- Apple Cider Vinegar
- Olive Oil
- Garlic
- Dijon Mustard
- Honey – any sweetener works here, I like honey but maple syrup or agave would be great swaps.
- Dried Thyme – mix up the herbs to what your favorite is to get a slightly different flavor.
- Salt
- Pepper
It looks like a lot of ingredients, but they are ones you probably have in your cupboard already, so don’t worry! Plus it really is just a dump and go recipe, so super simple!
How To Make Lemon Vinaigrette
Homemade dressings don’t get much easier to make. Just 5 minutes and you are done.
- I like to use a mason jar that has a tight fitting lid, but anything that you can put a lid on and it seals works great. Just dump all the ingredients into the jar and put the lid on.
- Shake, shake, shake! Really, just shake for about a minute for the ingredients to really combine and for the dressing to come together.
How To Use Lemon Vinaigrette
- It is great for a Simple Tossed Salad. Or add protein and make it an entire meal.
- This Mediterranean Quinoa Salad would be delicious with this dressing. Or you can use coucous and whatever your favorite veggies are.
- Pasta salads are great to have on hand for lunches or to take to a pot luck. This Mediterranean Pasta Salad would go really well with this vinaigrette.
- Adding a little dressing to roasted veggies gives them a ton of flavor. Just a little bit on Air Fryer Asparagus would be delicious.
There are so many ways to use homemade dressings and they are always so much better than any bottled kind you can buy at the store! It will having you eating salad more often, which can only be a good thing!
