Lemon Poppy Seed Vinaigrette

By mitzzy

When we spend so much time outside in the heat, I never really want to eat much, and I definitely want something light and fresh

Ingredients

• 2-3 large lemons (use as needed–you’ll need 1/3 c. juice and 1 tsp. zest)
• 1/4 c. rice wine vinegar
• 1/4 c. canola oil
• 3/4 tsp. kosher salt
• 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 c. sugar
• 2 tsp. poppy seeds
• 1 tsp. grated onion
• 1 clove finely pressed garlic

Preparation

Step 1

Using a Microplane or other fine grater, grate 1 tsp. lemon rind off the lemons. Grate 1 tsp. onion. Place in a small container with a lid. Add the remaining ingredients and shake vigorously. If possible, refrigerate at least an hour before serving. Shake well before serving.
