Notes/Tips

  • Storage: This dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 6 months. When ready to use it after storing, let it set on the counter for a few minutes and then give it a good shake.
  • Because there are so few ingredients in this recipe, using fresh lemon juice and a good extra virgin olive oil are essential.
  • It’s super helpful to have a microplane zester for zesting the lemon. I love this tool and use mine all the time for citrus zest and grating hard cheeses.
