Whisk lemon juice with olive oil and your chosen spices to make this salad dressing. Add the oil gradually while whisking for a smoother mixture, or shake everything in a lidded jar just before serving.
This salad dressing separates because lemon juice and olive oil do not stay mixed on their own. Shake it in a sealed jar or whisk it again right before pouring; a little separation is normal.
Add this salad dressing just before serving. Dressing leafy greens too early can make them wilt and release water, while adding it at the last minute keeps the salad fresher and crisper.
Yes, you can make this salad dressing ahead and keep it covered in the refrigerator. Olive oil may turn cloudy or firm when chilled; let the dressing warm briefly and shake it before use.
Yes, this salad dressing works as a quick marinade for vegetables, tofu, or fish. Keep raw-meat marinades separate from ready-to-eat foods, and discard any marinade that has touched raw meat.
Black pepper, oregano, and chili flakes are reliable choices for this salad dressing. Parsley, dill, or garlic can shift its flavor toward a particular dish, so add strongly flavored ingredients sparingly.
Yes, this salad dressing is tasty over roasted vegetables. For a fresher lemon flavor, drizzle it on after roasting rather than cooking it in the oven, where the herbs and lemon can lose their brightness.
Yes, vinegar can replace the lemon juice, but the salad dressing will taste sharper and less citrusy. Start with a small amount, taste it, and adjust the seasoning to suit the salad.
Too much lemon juice can make this salad dressing taste overly sour. Whisk in olive oil a little at a time, then taste again; adding more spices will not remove the sourness.
Keep this salad dressing separate until you are ready to eat, then toss it through the salad lightly. Dry washed leaves well first, since water left on them can dilute the dressing and make greens limp.

Salad dressing made with lemon juice, olive oil and spices is a simple, pourable accompaniment for fresh vegetables. Lemon gives it a bright tang, while olive oil rounds out the flavour and spices add aroma. The proportions are easy to adjust at home, depending on how sharp or richly flavoured you like your dressing.
It is commonly tossed through green or chopped salads, or spooned over tomatoes and other vegetables as a side to everyday meals. Olive oil makes it relatively rich in fat, so a little can go a long way; the listed serving is about two medium tablespoons. For a lighter coating, use less oil and add extra lemon juice or a splash of water.
Medium
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
