Lemon Herb Vinaigrette

This dressing has been on the very top of my absolute favorite list for years and never disappoints! I’ve used it as a salad dressing, a fish marinade, and even as a flavor to make a Muffuletta sandwich go from great to amazing.

*If no fresh herbs are available, you may substitute dry herbs, but only use a third of the amount listed.

Combine all ingredients except oils into blender or food processor.  Mix for 30 seconds to chop all herbs, onion, etc. 

Slowly drizzle oils into machine while it is running.  It will emulsify within a minute or two.  Use right away, or place into sealed container.

Variations can be made of this basic formula. You can substitute oranges or other fruit, different vinegars or sweeteners.

Hi, I’m Isabel!

Welcome to Beloved Recipe Box!

When a carefully made feast is prepared, we tend to linger. And these days, sitting down together allows us to dig deeper into how we can be more fully present for the planet and each other in these crazy times.

This group of recipes are tried and true. As recipe requests have increased over the years (and my original recipe cards became dog-eared and food stained), it was clear it was time to create a larger recipe box for them here.

You won’t find any ads on these recipe cards. Just bring a smile, feel welcome and enjoy!!
