Meyer Lemon Vinaigrette

When Meyer lemons are in season, typically between November and March, be sure to snag some to make this Meyer lemon vinaigrette. Meyer lemons are much less tart and acidic than traditional lemons; they're like a cross between a lemon and a mandarin. They're also sweeter, so no additional sugar is needed. I love this on kale salad, but also drizzled over roasted veggies or grilled salmon or trout.
