Make your own homemade salad dressing for a fresh, clean and healthy taste. This particular dressing was developed with the purpose of marinating chicken; it has so much great flavors. I also used it in the salad that I served with the pan fried chicken breasts and it worked beautifully. This batch of vinaigrette makes about 16 tablespoons. Since I had leftover I decided to use it to marinade salmon steaks and it was perfect. This multipurpose vinaigrette and marinade works best with the fresh herbs and fresh lemon juice, but, if you must you can substitute dried herbs – use a quarter of the dried herbs to the fresh. I love that this recipe stays fresh at room temperature for 24 hours or place in the fridge for up to one week – bring to room temperature before using on salad. I hope you enjoy as much as we do. Happy Cooking!
