The perfect summer time dressing with a grilled twist
Servings: 4
Cost: $3
Ingredients
- 5 whole lemons cut in half (should yield 1/2 cup of juice, see note!!)

- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 whole shallot small
- 1/2 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 1/2 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 cup olive oil* see note below!
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat grill for high direct heat
- Place halved lemons and green onions on the grill until grill marks have formed. Should take around 3 - 5 minutes.

- Add all the ingredients besides the olive oil, salt and pepper to a blender (or immersion blender).
- While continuously blending, slowly add in the olive oil to form the vinaigrette. Blending should take 30 - 60 seconds to add the olive oil. Taste then add salt and pepper as needed.

Notes
A good vinaigrette is about roughly equal parts lemon juice and olive oil. Please adjust olive oil in the recipe accordingly.
