Meyer Lemon Dressing

I got inspired to create a Meyer Lemon Dressing when I sampled an infused Meyer Lemon Olive Oil and some preserved lemons at a local Farmer’s Market. Delicious, but the price was very high! I figured I’d make something myself.

Citrus rinds are loaded with bioflavanoids, rutin, and other nutrients, so I figured I’d puree the rinds whole. Much easier than zesting them, or steeping them in warm oil, only to drain them off afterward.

I also knew that using my Vitamix on a small amount of rinds just doesn’t work, so I had to make a decent-sized batch. No worries there- the big batch of dressing’s been holding up well in the fridge, and I can add it to a number of dishes to add a refreshing note of lemon.
