How to Make Lemon Nut Vinaigrette
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey (or maple syrup), Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Stir in the chopped walnuts or pecans.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more lemon juice for extra tang, honey for sweetness, or salt and pepper to taste.
- **To use as a marinade:** Place your protein (chicken, fish, or meat) in a resealable bag. Pour approximately 1/3 cup of the vinaigrette over the protein.
- Seal the bag tightly and gently massage the marinade into the protein.
- Marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes or in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours, turning the bag occasionally.
- Remove the protein from the bag, reserving any remaining marinade. Grill, bake, or pan-fry as desired. Brush the reserved marinade over the protein during cooking for extra flavor.
- **To use as a salad dressing:** Simply drizzle over your favorite salad and toss gently to combine. Enjoy!
