Lemon Dijon Dressing
Hi Everyone, This Lemon Dijon Dressing is versatile because it can also be used as a marinade for veggies, meat, or fish.
For extra virgin olive oil stick to temperatures 200°F-325°F or below.
If you need to cook above 200°F-325°F, switch out the EVOO for light olive oil that will hold up in higher temps. (see this helpful guide on oil smoke points for reference).
I have used this for chicken and fish with success.
It has saved me many a time by being a weeknight marinade when I have been at a loss at what to make and then I can make more for a dressing to serve with salad in the same meal.
Now, I would say this Lemon Dijon Dressing is a simple recipe hack that can give a lot of value for little effort!
Below is a collage start to finish on the process of making Lemon Dijon Dressing – it’s so easy!
And easy to customize with other flavors should you wish to modify.
