🌿 Lemon Vinaigrette


🌿 I think lemons have been shortchanged. We talk about lemon cars as a bad deal. "When life gives you lemons" means things have gone sour. The thing is . . . I love lemons.
My favorite summer meal this year has been a fruit-filled spinach salad drizzled with a healthy homemade dressing.

For the salad, I usually top spinach leaves with shredded cooked chicken, strawberries, mandarin oranges, feta cheese, and pecans. 

The dressing takes about thirty seconds to make and adds a nice zing. Just whisk equal parts fresh-squeezed lemon juice and EVOO. Mix in something savory like garlic or onion spice. Add a tiny bit of honey or agave if you like a sweeter dressing. 

This is such a versatile dressing to have on hand, as it can be drizzled over couscous, quinoa, Brussels sprouts, red skinned potatoes, or asparagus.

Many thanks to @handgemalt at Instagram for the lemon drawing tutorial.
