Chicken Free Garlic-Herb Lemon Vinaigrette
Bright, herby, and packed with citrus punch, this garlic-herb lemon vinaigrette is the kind of dressing that makes you want to put it on absolutely everything. Fresh lemon juice and zest bring a clean, vibrant acidity, while minced garlic, parsley, thyme, and oregano layer in serious depth of flavor. A pinch of ground ginger adds just enough warmth to keep things interesting without stealing the show. The whole thing comes together in minutes — whisk it in a bowl or just shake it up in a jar, and you're done. Since this is a pure plant-based dressing built entirely from herbs, citrus, and olive oil, there's nothing to second-guess about what's in it. A touch of raw honey rounds out the tartness beautifully if you like a hint of sweetness. Make a batch at the start of the week and keep it in the fridge for up to five days — just give it a good shake before drizzling it over salads, roasted vegetables, or grain bowls.
