I am completely obsessed with making homemade vinaigrette! My goal is to eat spinach or shaved brussels sprouts salads most days for lunch. To keep it interesting, I switch up the vinaigrette every couple days and make something new.

This Lemon Dill Vinaigrette is definitely a favorite. It's tangy with a touch of sweetness, fresh and so delicious! The garlic, dijon and seasoned rice vinegar boost the flavor of this dressing. I highly recommend using seasoned rice vinegar in homemade vinaigrette. It's more mild than some other vinegars and has an amazing flavor. 

You can also use this vinaigrette in pasta salads for a BBQ, or as a marinade for chicken or fish. 

Store this dressing in the refrigerator, in a sealed mason jar, for easy pouring whenever you make a salad.
