This Garlic Dust Lemon Vinaigrette is a bright, balanced dressing that comes together in minutes. Fresh lemon juice, honey, shallots, and Tasty Tin Garlic Dust create a flavorful vinaigrette that works beautifully on spring salads, roasted vegetables, grain bowls, and seafood.
It’s the kind of homemade dressing that makes simple ingredients taste restaurant-level. This vinaigrette is one of the easiest ways to see why Garlic Dust became the seasoning people tell us they can’t cook without.
Ingredients
-
½ cup fresh lemon juice (or champagne vinegar for a softer note)
-
1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
-
1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot
-
3 tablespoons honey (optional but we like the sweet hint)
-
1 teaspoon lemon zest
-
1 cup olive oil (extra virgin or a mellow blend)
-
1 tablespoon Tasty Tin® Garlic Dust
-
½ teaspoon to taste
Directions
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together mustard, lemon juice, shallot, honey, and lemon zest until smooth.
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking to emulsify.
Stir in Garlic Dust and To Taste. Here you can add any chopped herbs you like such as dill, thyme, or oregano.
Taste and adjust: if it needs a touch more brightness, add ½ tsp more vinegar or lemon; if it’s too sharp, a bit more oil or honey will mellow it.
Recipe Note
Ways to Use Garlic Dust Lemon Vinaigrette
• Chopped salads with spring greens and grilled shrimp
• Roasted vegetables (drizzle while still warm)
• Pasta salads or grain bowls, or salads built on grains cooked in homemade chicken stock
• Marinade for chicken, tofu, or fish
Kitchen Tip
Quinoa, grains, and roasted vegetables absorb vinaigrette best while still slightly warm. Toss with dressing immediately after cooking so the flavor soaks in.
Garlic Dust Tip
Garlic Dust has a coarser texture than garlic powder, which helps it stand out in recipes like this vinaigrette. If you’ve ever wondered about the difference, read our guide on garlic powder vs. garlic dust.
