Lemon Balsamic Dressing
Have you ever thought to combine balsamic and lemon before? It works really well! If you think all vinaigrettes taste the same, this lemon balsamic dressing will prove you wrong. It’s bright, tangy, slightly sweet, and instantly transforms even the most boring bowl of greens into something you actually want to eat.

Notes
If you want more lemon flavor, you should add lemon zest, not more lemon juice.
I don't suggest fresh garlic because it overpowers the other flavors.
