Meyer Lemon Vinaigrette




Meyer Lemon Vinaigrette

Great an many salads.  It  has a fresh taste. I like best with a spinach salad with fruit and nuts. It's also good to marinate chicken and grill.

Ingredients:
½ cup fresh Meyer lemon juice
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 garlic cloves
1 tablespoon whole grain prepared mustard
1 tablespoon dried Italian herbs
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon blue agave nectar
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1¼ cups extra virgin olive oil

Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients except oil in a blender. Pulse a few times to chop garlic thoroughly and mix ingredients together.

2. With the blender on low speed, slowly add olive oil to the mixture in a steady stream until completely blended. Drizzle over your favorite salad.

Notes:
If you can't find or don't have Meyer lemons, just use regular lemons. You might want to add just a bit more honey or use the juice of half an orange as part of the ½ cup lemon juice.
