Lemon Dijon Vinaigrette
There is nothing better than a homemade dressing and one of my favorites is the lemon Dijon vinaigrette.
This one lives in my fridge all the time as I find it indispensable. I use the lemon Dijon vinaigrette as a dressing on salads, on steamed vegetables, on virtually any seafood and even dress my chicken with it once I take it off the barbecue.
It will last about a week so don’t bother making too much if you don’t plan on using it. Enjoy this delicious and fresh lemon Dijon vinaigrette recipe.
