This is a terrific and easy vinaigrette. I used it to dress Christmas Bean Salad and enjoyed it very much. I know I will turn to this over and over. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

    I love citrus flavors, especially lemon, so when I found this recipe in your 1-2-3 book, I had to tag it!! This is wonderful vinaigrette. So fresh and simple to put together, I used fresh lemons and followed recipe as directed. I served it over leaf lettuce, carrots, celery, cucumbers, croutons and monterey cheese. Thanks for a great recipe Lauralie!!
