Beef Free Garlic-Herb Lemon Vinaigrette
Bright, herby, and punchy with fresh citrus, this vinaigrette is the kind of dressing that makes you want to put it on absolutely everything. Fresh lemon juice and zest team up with minced garlic, parsley, thyme, and oregano to create layers of flavor that bottled dressings simply can't compete with. A touch of ground ginger adds a subtle warmth that ties it all together, and a drizzle of raw honey rounds out the acidity if you like a hint of sweetness. The whole thing comes together in minutes — just whisk or shake in a jar and you're done. It keeps in the fridge for up to five days, so you can make a batch ahead and have something genuinely delicious ready to go all week. Drizzle it over salads, roasted vegetables, grilled chicken, or grain bowls and watch it disappear fast.
