1/4 cup lemon juice

Tips:

  • For a spicy dressing, add a pinch of chili powder or cayenne pepper. You can also add some chopped jalapeños or serrano peppers.
  • If you want a sweeter dressing, add a tablespoon of honey or agave nectar. You can also add some chopped dried fruit, such as cranberries or raisins.
  • To make a vinaigrette dressing, whisk together olive oil, citrus juice, and vinegar. You can also add some chopped herbs, such as cilantro or parsley.
  • Store your dressing in a jar or container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
