Sometimes the best recipes are the ones you don’t need to memorize. ✨🍋
Holistic Chef Instructor Michele Tedrick loves this simple “no-recipe” vinaigrette because it comes together in about a minute using pantry staples—and once you learn the ratio, you can make it anytime without measuring.
✨ One-Minute Lemon Vinaigrette in a Jar
THE RATIO:
• 1 part lemon juice
• 1/3 part Dijon mustard
• 2 parts extra virgin olive oil
• Salt + pepper to taste
EXAMPLE:
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Salt + pepper
TO MAKE:
Add everything to a jar with a lid and shake until combined. That’s it! 🫙✨
This bright, versatile vinaigrette pairs beautifully with delicate greens, grain bowls, roasted vegetables, or simple everyday salads.
Tip: No lemons? Apple cider vinegar makes a great substitute.
Learning to cook with ratios instead of rigid recipes is a foundational culinary skill taught throughout the Holistic Chef Program, including courses like Foundational Ingredients and Pastry Arts & Alternative Baking.
Simple techniques can transform the way we cook at home. 💚
