Instructions
Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to making a delicious Lemon Citrus Vinaigrette Dressing with Stone Ground Mustard
Step 1: Combine all of the ingredients in a glass jar and shake well. You can also use a small bowl to whisk together the fresh lemon juice and mustard until well combined. Then, slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil while whisking constantly to emulsify the dressing and finally season with salt and pepper to taste. Be sure to continue whisking until the vinaigrette is well blended.
Step 2 : Enjoy your homemade Lemon Vinaigrette Dressing over your favorite salads, grilled meats, or roasted vegetables!
Hint: I like to use this airtight glass jar (affiliate link) to store small amounts of dressing in.
Variations
I highly recommend using stone ground mustard instead of Dijon to take the flavor of the dressing to new heights. For an extra kick, consider adding a minced garlic to the mix, but keep in mind that this will impart a garlicky twist to every dish you dress with this vinaigrette.

- Marinade: Use the vinaigrette as a marinade for grilled chicken, shrimp, or fish to infuse them with a bright citrus flavor.
- Roasted Vegetables: Toss roasted vegetables such as asparagus, Brussels sprouts, or cauliflower in the vinaigrette before serving to add a zesty kick.
- Grilled Meats: Brush the vinaigrette onto grilled meats like steak or pork chops for a burst of lemony goodness.
