Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 0.25 cup lemon juice plus the zest of one lemon
  • 1 clove garlic grated or minced
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard or 1 tablespoon tahini
  • 0.33 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast or parmesan
  • Salt & pepper to taste (I love adding Trader Joe’s Onion Salt, too)

Method
 

  1. Combine lemon juice, zest, garlic, and tahini/dijon. Blend or whisk to emulsify.
  2. Slowly stream in olive oil, whisking to emulsify. Add nutritional yeast/parmesan, salt & pepper. Taste and adjust.
  3. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

For a thicker vinaigrette, add a little more tahini.
