A Lemon Dressing for Summer

December 14, 2011

Ingredients

Mix together a pinch of sea salt, a teaspoon of Dijon mustard, and the juice of half a lemon. Beat in 3/4 cup (200ml) olive oil and a teaspoon of grated lemon zest. Let sit a few minutes for the ingredients to get to know one another.

Tender

Like airy lemon chiffon cake and a Cadbury egg–inspired tart.

A warmly spiced Ashkenazi charoset, perfect for your Passover seder—or spooned over yogurt the next morning.

Keep this easy frittata recipe on hand for quick breakfasts, impressive brunches, and fridge clean-out meals.

Like a cucumber-cilantro chutney sandwich and scallop piccata.

Turn humble onions into this thrifty yet luxe pasta dinner.

Use this simple vinaigrette to dress a plate of greens, some steamed potatoes, or anything else that strikes your fancy.

Think a Hugo spritz, a gin basil smash, and plenty more patio-ready pours.

A why-didn't-I-think-of-that technique takes this classic from great to greater.
