Easy Meyer Lemon Vinaigrette (Vegan Friendly) image

When we spotted this recipe in the February 2011 issue of Sunset we knew it had to be good. I prepared two versions: one with dark aged balsamic and the second with white balsamic. For a vegan version, skip the mayonnaise or use an egg-free mayonnaise. It was suggested to try the dressing on greens such as oak leaf, mizuna and/or arugula. My husband and I enjoyed it on all three and it was especially tasty on zippy arugula! I would skip the garlic depending on your main dish and/or other items on the menu.

1 meyer lemon, zest of
2 tablespoons meyer lemon juice (approximately 1 large lemon)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, to taste

Steps:

  • In a non-reactive bowl whisk the ingredients together until smooth.
  • Vinaigrettes taste better if they are prepared at least 1 hour in advance of serving.
