Simple lemon salad dressing

This is my favorite go to salad dressing and marinade and I’m a bit obsessed with using it on everything. This recipe makes a small amount, but I usually quadruple it in a big quart sized jar so I always have some on hand.

I use it on all kinds of salads and I also love to marinade chicken in it or use it to baste on chicken or fish as it cooks. It’s also really great on grilled or roasted veggies.

Caesar salad hack:

Quick tip - if you’re craving caesar salad, you can just add a few dashes of Thai fish sauce and some parmesan cheese to this dressing (or any similar vinaigrette type dressing) and you’ll end up with a flavor very similar to a caesar dressing. I know not everyone keeps fish sauce in their cupboard, but I always have some around because I love the flavor it can add.
