This Lemon Herb Vinaigrette is absolutely amazing! So easy to make and will delight your holiday company any time of year. My friend Debra Lane created this recipe for a cooking with Essential Oils class we held a few years ago. Debra is a chef who totally appreciates natural foods and the value of using food grade essential oils in her dishes. Serve this vinaigrette to your guests and ‘you’ will get raves!

Cooking with essential oils does require knowing the basics as essential oils are extremely potent in flavor. Young Living has the best essential oils for cooking (food grade) – it is very IMPORTANT to note that you CANNOT use other brands of essential oils in cooking or internally – ONLY USE SUPERIOR QUALITY!

Lemon Herb Vinaigrette

Juice of 3 fresh lemons
Zest of one fresh lemon
1 cup of Extra Virgin Olive oil
2 TBLS of Shallot, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 drop of Young Living Lemon Essential Oil (you may use 1 drop of either Peppermint, Orange, Dill, Basil, Rosemary, Sage, Savory, or Thyme in place of Lemon if you like)
Salt and Pepper
Fresh Parsley (or herb of choice that complements) optional
1 – 2 TBLS of Blue Agave to taste (keep in mind it’s much sweeter than sugar)

Mix all ingredients into a small mixing bowl, whisk together well. Serve at room temp or chilled over a tossed green salad. Enjoy!
