Lemon Vinaigrette image

Versatile and delicious, this lemon vinaigrette is a favorite among homemade salad dressings. The fresh lemon flavor brightens up simple green salads as a dressing but it's also a lively addition to fresh steamed vegetables, like broccoli, green beans or cauliflower. -Sarah Farmer, Taste of Home Culinary Director

LEMON BASIL SALAD DRESSING

Lemon Basil Salad Dressing image

I got this out of a Tesco's magazine. I use less oil than is suggested her - up to you. Typically a salad dressing has three parts oil to one part vinegar or citrus, but I usually invert that in order to use less oil. This is good on salad but also on steamed baby potatoes as a side. Either way I like to sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds before serving.

A slightly savory dressing really complements the sweet fruit in this recipe. I also use the dressing on salad greens. -Dixie Terry, Goreville, Illinois
