You can make it with anything you have on hand (like leftover Thanksgiving cranberries) but really, all you need for this particular simple lemon vinaigrette is oil, vinegar, lemon juice and basic spices.

Simple Lemon Vinaigrette
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup lemon juice, fresh is best
- 2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1-2 Tablespoons honey, to taste; replace with maple syrup or eliminate if vegan
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon table salt
- 1/8 teaspoon granulated garlic
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a jar with a tight lid. Close the lid firmly, and shake vigorously for 15-30 seconds until emulsified. Taste, and adjust ingredients to taste.
