Dress Up Your Salad…with a Citrus Vinaigrette!

Happy New Year! Here’s a tasty lil’ number that will dazzle almost as much as your matching sequined pumps, top hat and light-up headband (yeah, we know that’s how you roll). This holiday, we were gifted us with some stunning, Meyer lemon extra-virgin olive oil and white balsamic that came in handy for this lil’ number.  Fear not, a nice EVOO and balsamic will do.  Remember, all that you need for a balanced dressing is an oil and an acid, at an approximate ratio of 3:1!
