It's incredibly easy to make and pairs perfectly with a variety of salads, whether you prefer kale, mixed greens, or any other fresh ingredients from your local farm.

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

• 1 teaspoon lemon zest

• 1 tablespoon honey

• 1 clove garlic, minced

• 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard

• Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, minced garlic, and Dijon mustard until well combined.

2. Slowly drizzle in the extra-virgin olive oil while continuing to whisk. This helps create a smooth emulsion for your vinaigrette.

3. Season with salt and pepper to taste and give it a final whisk to blend all the flavors together.

4. Taste and adjust the ingredients to your preference. If you like it tangier, add more lemon juice. For a sweeter touch, increase the honey.

5. Once your Lemon Vinaigrette is ready, drizzle it over your fresh greens and toss your salad to coat evenly.

Salad Suggestions:

1. Kale Salad: For a hearty and nutritious option, toss kale leaves with this zesty vinaigrette. The lemony flavors complement kale's earthiness and make it a deliciously refreshing salad.

2. Mixed Greens Salad: Create a classic mixed greens salad using a variety of lettuce leaves, arugula, spinach, and other fresh greens. The Lemon Vinaigrette will enhance the natural flavors of the mixed greens.

3. Grilled Chicken Salad: Add grilled chicken breast or tofu for a protein-packed meal. Drizzle the Lemon Vinaigrette over the greens and protein for a well-balanced and satisfying salad.

4. Quinoa Salad: Mix cooked quinoa with diced vegetables, herbs, and feta cheese. This vinaigrette will provide a vibrant kick to your quinoa salad.

5. Summer Fruit Salad: Don't limit this vinaigrette to just greens. Try it on a fruit salad with berries, melon, and citrus segments for a delightful burst of flavor.
