Lemon Curry Vinaigrette
This Lemon Curry Vinaigrette is a zesty, vibrant dressing that brings life to any salad or grain bowl. I love how the warm spices balance perfectly with the bright acidity of the lemon.
I remember the first time I created this vinaigrette; it was a warm summer evening, and I had a bounty of fresh greens from my garden.
I wanted something a bit different, something that would awaken my taste buds.
The combination of lemon and curry just felt right, and since then, it’s been my go-to dressing for everything from simple salads to grain bowls.
Plus, it’s super easy to whip up in just a few minutes!

Ingredients & Substitutions
