Notes

  • To store in the fridge: This dressing will stay good for up to one week. If you notice the oil separating, shake or stir it well before using. If the oil has hardened slightly after chilling, let the vinaigrette sit at room temperature for a few minutes to loosen it up. 
  • This lemon vinaigrette will last for up to one week in the fridge in a sealed container (though it may lose some of its bright flavors over time). Here are some of my favorite storage containers.
  • Watch me make this lemon vinaigrette as part of my Meal Prep for Spring recipe video.
  • If you prefer a creamier dressing, give my lemon tahini dressing a try. And if you'd like to make this dressing Whole30 compliant, just omit the honey.
