I’ve been on a kick of making my own salad dressings. After looking at the ingredients on bottles from the store, I realized it’s so easy to make something from ingredients we can all pronounce! This is a favorite of my girls; we put it on all kinds of salads, but they especially like one that includes quinoa. Give this a try and let me know what you think!
4 Tbls fresh squeezed lemon juice
Zest of one lemon
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp salt
1-2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, depending on your prefrence
1 1/2 Tbls sugar
1/3 cup light-tasting oil (I use Extra light olive oil or avocado)
Blend all ingredients well and chill. Store in an airtight jar.
*When I do use this with quinoa, I pour a little onto the quinoa while it’s still warm so I can absorb the flavors.
