What’s In This Caper Lemon Vinaigrette?
Be sure to visit the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Lemon Juice
- Capers – give this dish an extraordinary flavor, brightness, and sophistication!
- Garlic
- Apple Cider Vinegar, which gives this dressing a little extra tang which is really fantastic! I love using organic apple cider vinegar with the mother which has a great flavor. I think it gives a nice extra sweetness and depth.
- Dijon Mustard – for a really nice flavor and texture, this Dijon is a favorite in our pantry… I’d stay clear from yellow prepared mustard for this recipe.
- Maple Syrup: I really like using maple syrup for natural sweetness.
- Salt and pepper to taste
