Notes
- Trust us when we say, this is so much better made with fresh squeezed lemons! The taste is fuller and more flavorful. It is worth the effort.
- I love this recipe with dijon, but have a son who hates everything mustard so I leave it out when I make it for him and I like it just as much! Sometimes when adding dijon the dressing is a little extra tart tasting. To reduce the tartness, add ½-1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey.
- This is also great with some added basil for that yummy lemony basil flavor. We like to add ½ teaspoon dried basil.
