Pregnancy Friendly Lemon-Zest Herb Vinaigrette

Bright, tangy, and herbaceous, this homemade vinaigrette is the kind of dressing that makes a simple salad feel like something special. It comes together in under a minute with just a bowl and a whisk, which is exactly the kind of low-effort, high-reward cooking that makes sense when energy isn't always on your side. Every ingredient here is straightforward and intentional — fresh lemon juice and zest for a clean citrus punch, extra-virgin olive oil for healthy fats, a touch of raw honey for balance, and optional fresh herbs to round it all out. Store-bought dressings can be a minefield of additives, preservatives, and ingredients you'd rather avoid right now, so making your own puts you fully in control of what goes on your plate. The garlic is finely grated so it blends seamlessly into the emulsion rather than overpowering any bite. It keeps in the fridge for up to five days, so you can make a batch at the start of the week and drizzle it over greens, roasted vegetables, or grain bowls whenever the craving hits. Simple, nourishing, and genuinely delicious — this one earns a permanent spot in your rotation.
