Interesting Facts

  • Lemon dressing is a classic choice for salads but can also be used as a marinade for meats and vegetables.
  • The acidity of the lemon juice helps to tenderize meat and adds a bright, tangy taste to dishes.
  • Using fresh lemon juice is key to achieving the best flavor in this dressing, as bottled lemon juice can taste artificial.
