Lemon Vinaigrette

This lemon vinaigrette recipe is the perfect dressing for all sorts of delicious salads.

With a tangy and subtle sweetness, this lemon vinaigrette is awesome at bringing out the flavours of vegetables.

Vinaigrettes are always my preferred type of dressing as it doesn't weigh the salad down like thick creamy dressings can. Thick dressings can smother the flavours in a salad instead of emphasising them for a more unified flavour.

This dressing is perfect on Greek salad, caprese salad, or try it on my Mediterranean chickpea salad.
