Alpha Gal Friendly Lemon-Zest Herb Vinaigrette
Bright, tangy, and impossibly fresh, this lemon-zest herb vinaigrette is the kind of dressing that makes you want to put a salad on the table every single night. Every ingredient here is entirely plant-based and free from mammalian products, so there's no second-guessing labels or scanning for hidden animal-derived additives — just clean, confident cooking. The double hit of lemon juice and zest gives it a citrusy punch that olive oil and a touch of raw honey round out beautifully. A whisper of fresh thyme or parsley takes it from simple to genuinely special without adding any complexity to the process. It comes together in under a minute of active whisking, and the emulsified texture clings to greens far better than anything you'd shake out of a bottle. Keep a jar in the fridge and you've got a reliable, worry-free drizzle ready for salads, roasted vegetables, or grain bowls all week long.
