Once you make homemade salad dressing or vinaigrette, you’ll probably never go back to using store bought versions. This is an easy and super delicious salad dressing that works perfectly with any type of salad. It’s also flexible enough to use as a marinade for chicken or fish. Beautiful fresh herbs and fresh juices marry together to create the most perfectly flavored citrus dressing. One of our favorite salad pairing is our Watermelon Arugula Mozzarella Salad. I hope you will make this dressing and enjoy it as much as we do. Happy Cooking!
