Lemon Dressing

I enjoy making homemade salad dressings. It's fresh, you know what's going into it, and you can tweak the ingredients to accommodate to your taste. I have such a hard time buying dressing from a grocery store. I find a lot of them to have too much vinegar, not enough flavor, and I find it kind of scary that they sit on the store shelf for so long.

This recipe is a great dressing for the summer. It's light, refreshing, and super simple!

Ingredients:

1/4 C Sugar

3 T Lemon Juice

1 Egg Yolk

6 T Vegetable Oil

Directions:

Place sugar in bowl. Add lemon juice and whisk until most of the sugar is dissolved. Add egg yolk and whisk until all of the sugar is completely dissolved. Gradually add one tablespoon of oil at a time, whisking constantly. The dressing should be thick and creamy. Cover and refrigerate immediately.

Tips:

***Serve over a nice bed of spinach with jicama, feta and slivered almonds. This dressing is great paired with any type of fish dish or poultry.
