Lemon Vinaigrette

This is the salad dressing of Fieldhouse Kitchen. I use it all the time. It's the perfect base. You can add Dijon, honey, shallots, balsamic vinegar — anything you'd like to it.

But I love it on its own. It's light and crisp and pairs well with every kind of salad.

Here's what you'll need for my Lemon Vinaigrette (serves about 2 salads):

• Half a lemon, juiced

• Equal parts extra virgin olive oil to match the amount of lemon juice

• Pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper

Now squeeze the lemon juice into a small bowl and slowly whisk in the same amount of olive oil, stirring as you go.

Once thickened slightly, add a pinch of salt and pepper.

That's it!

Now go dress that mean salad.
