Oats Free Garlic-Herb Lemon Vinaigrette
Bright, herby, and packed with fresh citrus punch, this garlic-herb lemon vinaigrette is the kind of dressing that makes you want to put it on absolutely everything. Fresh parsley, thyme, and oregano come together with two whole lemons' worth of juice and zest, creating layers of flavor that bottled dressings simply can't match. Because it's built entirely from whole, recognizable ingredients — olive oil, fresh herbs, garlic, and a touch of ground ginger — there's zero guesswork about what's actually in it, which is a genuine relief when you're navigating a grain-free lifestyle and scanning labels for hidden fillers or thickeners. Whisking or shaking it together takes under five minutes, and the result is a glossy, lightly emulsified dressing that clings beautifully to greens, roasted vegetables, or grilled proteins. A small drizzle of raw honey is entirely optional but rounds out the acidity in a really lovely way. It keeps in the fridge for up to five days, so you can make a batch at the start of the week and have something genuinely delicious ready to go every single day.
