Lemon Vinaigrette: A Bright, Fresh Dressing for Any Dish

Love the recipe? Share it:

A zippy, vibrant lemon vinaigrette is the perfect way to liven up any salads, roasted vegetables, or even grilled seafood. Our Lemon Vinaigrette is citrus sunshine in a jar! Packed with fresh citrus, a touch of honey, and a balanced blend of acidity and richness—no preservatives, just real ingredients that make everything taste better.

💡 Chef’s Tip: This vinaigrette is incredibly versatile. Try it as a marinade for chicken or fish, or drizzle it over a grain bowl for an instant flavour boost.

Ingredients (Makes about ¾ cup):

Juice of 1 orange (about ¼ cup)
Juice of ½ lemon
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
½ tsp sea salt
4-5 turns freshly ground black pepper
⅓ cup olive oil

Instructions:

  1. In a small jar or bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lemon juice, vinegar, Dijon, honey, salt, and pepper.
  2. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil, whisking continuously until emulsified.
  3. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  4. Store in the fridge for up to 1 week—just shake well before using.

💡 Ways to Use Lemon Vinaigrette:
✔ Drizzle over buttery lettuce, spinach, or arugula
✔ Toss with roasted beets, fennel, or winter squash
✔ Use as a marinade for grilled chicken, shrimp, or fish
✔ Add to a grain bowl with quinoa, farro, or couscous

I recently did an online Lamb Briyani class. It used some cooking techniques I wasn't familiar with and produced a dish that was as tasty as the best Indian food I've ever had the pleasure of enjoying.

I have done a few classes with the Culinary Studio and always enjoy the classes and the fabulous meals. They deliver the food to my door all prepped for the class if I like (which I do!). Highly recommended.

We did a virtual zoom cooking class. It was better than cooking classes we have done in a actual class. We really enjoyed our ourselves. We have made the meal a couple of times since the class. We have friends over for the session and have great restaurant quality meals

Online classes have allowed me the convenience to open my computer and learn in the comfort of my home and to do the class on my own schedule rather than missing out due to life's interruptions. Classes are paced well and the chef's are ready to answer your cooking questions even if they are unrelated to the class. I have used the recipes frequently in my day to day life and recently at an event where I overhead participants raving about the soup and cookies I had prepared, which were from Culinary Studio class recipes.I was at the Studio for the very first class they held and I have continued to take classes for the past 13 years. While some things have changed over the years, the quality, knowledge and skills Jody and Kirstie bring to each class has not.The skills I learned through the their instruction have been used daily.

To Chefs Kirstie & Jody! My family and I have thoroughly enjoyed the recipes and techniques we have acquired by following your live sessions and on-demand courses available on your website. You have a casual and an informative style that is very appealing. Most importantly both of you thrive on good food and beverage as much as we do! Bravo - we hope your future includes many more years of teaching and developing new dishes. Thank you. 🙂
