Lemon Olive Oil Dressing

Lemon Olive Oil Dressing

Updated November 4, 2026

A bright, clean dressing made from lemon juice, olive oil, salt, sugar, and pepper. Light bodied, citrus forward, and perfect for salads that accompany rich Italian American dishes.

Works best with simple salads that contain cucumbers, tomatoes, and crisp greens. Ideal for cutting through rich mains like chicken parmesan or baked pasta.

Add lemon zest for brighter version.
