Bottled dressing from the grocery store can be full of mystery oils and binding gums, not to mention sneaky dairy, soy and gluten. You’ll be hooked on the fresh, homemade stuff once you make this 5-minute Honey-Dijon Lemon Vinaigrette, which only requires a quick spin through your blender.
I love using it to dress up simple, bitter spring greens such as arugula, radicchio or endive. Enjoy!
