Thyme Vinaigrette

Bright, fresh, and full of flavor, this thyme vinaigrette uses the entire lemon (peel and all) for a bold, citrusy dressing. It’s great on a salad or grain bowl, drizzled over vegetables, or mixed with Greek yogurt for a spread or dip.

Note: When choosing lemons or limes, go for those with smoother skin; they’re generally juicier and have thinner rinds than those with rougher skin.

Ingredients:

• 1 small lemon (organic, otherwise scrubbed well)

• 3/4 cup olive oil

• 1 garlic clove

• 1.5 Tbsp maple syrup or honey

• 1 tsp Dijon mustard

• 1.5 Tbsp thyme leaves

• 1.5 tsp salt

• black pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Rinse lemon well, then cut off both ends.

2. Cut into slices or smaller pieces, removing any seeds.

3. Add all ingredients to a blender.

4. Blend until smooth.

5. If it seems too thick, add a splashes of water until the desired consistency is reached.

6. Taste and add more salt, pepper, or maple syrup as needed.
