This Lemon Vinaigrette recipe is my favorite go-to dressing for any salad, from simple greens to Cobb salad or roasted veggies. It’s fresh, healthy, and can be made in advance.
I truly believe this is the best lemon vinaigrette recipe out there. It’s much better and more affordable than store-bought dressings, and uses only clean ingredients. Plus, it only takes a few minutes to make and lasts for up to a week.
You’ll love this lemon vinaigrette because it’s light and tangy, perfect for salads like Berries and Pecans, Arugula Salmon Salad, or Kale and Brussels Sprout Salad.
I always prefer making my own dressing instead of buying bottled ones. Lemon is my top choice for salads like arugula, asparagus, or butter lettuce. If you try this healthy lemon vinaigrette recipe, please tag me in your photos or videos on Instagram, TikTok, or Facebook!
