Wheat Free Lemon-Zest Herb Vinaigrette
Bright, tangy, and impossibly fresh, this lemon-herb vinaigrette is the kind of dressing that makes you want to put it on everything — salads, roasted vegetables, grilled chicken, you name it. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of wheat and gluten, so there's no label-reading anxiety or ingredient swaps required. The double hit of lemon juice and zest gives it a citrusy punch that bottled dressings simply can't match, while a touch of raw honey rounds out the acidity beautifully. Whisking the olive oil in slowly is the small but important step that brings it all together into a silky, emulsified dressing rather than a separated puddle. Fresh thyme or parsley adds an herby lift that feels a little fancy without any extra effort. It keeps in the fridge for up to five days, so you can make a batch on Sunday and have a genuinely great dressing ready to go all week long.
