Lemon Vinaigrette is my favorite simple salad dressing that goes with almost any salad. It’s fresh and vibrant and pairs well with so many things.
This recipe is simple to make. You can whip up your own batch of creamy lemon vinaigrette in just five minutes.
This homemade dressing is far more delicious than any store bought vinaigrette dressing. If you don’t believe me, try it and let me know what you decide!
