LEMON GARLIC VINIAGRETTE

We started making salad dressings!! This Lemon Garlic Vinaigrette is one my mother and I have been making for years. We have been tweaking the recipe over time to get it just right. I hope y 'all love it as much as we do. It is fresh and vibrant and really perks up your salad. It can also be used as a super yummy marinade, or to drizzle over roasted veggies.
 
** NO PRESERVATIVES
** NO CANOLA, SOYBEAN, OR SUNFLOWER OILS
** NO ARTIFICAIL INGREDIENTS
** NO SUGAR
** 100% PURE- 1ST COLD PRESSED OLIVE OIL
** FRESH SQUEEZED ORGANIC LEMON JUICE

These are freshly made with no preservatives so please try and use within 10 days. The fresh lemon juice and garlic can have a change in taste over time. Keep refrigerated. Olive oil hardens in the fridge, so set it out to get to room temperature before using or give it a few good shakes to emulsify. 

ROASTED BEET SALAD

Ingredients:

  • 1 bunch small to medium beets

  • 4 cups salad mix

  •  Lemon Garlic Vinaigrette

  • Goat cheese

  •  Walnuts or pecans

  •  salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Trim beets and scrub them, (reserve greens for another use). Quarter or half them. Place beets on a sheet pan, drizzle with a little olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

  2. Cover tightly with aluminum foil. Roast in middle of oven until tender, about 40 min. This can be done a day in advance if you'd like.

  3. Toss greens with Lemon Garlic Vinaigrette. Top with beets, goat cheese, and nuts of your choice. Add another drizzle of vinaigrette. 

Enjoy!
