About Lemon Pepper Dressing
Lemon Pepper Salad Dressing (Lemon Pepper Vinaigrette) is a refreshing blend of five simple ingredients: olive oil, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, and mustard sauce. It is one of my favorite dressings as it comes together super quickly using a few simple ingredients which are mostly available at home.
This 5-minute dressing is tangy and slightly sweet with a subtle hint of spiciness and bold citrus flavor.
Although you can buy a bottle of this dressing in the store these days, it is always recommended that you make it at home. Homemade salad dressing tastes much better than store-bought, is free of artificial colors, flavors, and modifiers, and is more economical.
Ingredients
To make lemon pepper dressing, you will need extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, yellow mustard sauce (or Dijon mustard), salt, pepper, and a small jar (or a small bowl).
Use the best quality olive oil and freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best taste.
Adjust the salt and pepper according to your taste.
You can use maple syrup or coconut sugar instead of honey to make vegan lemon pepper dressing.
How To Make Lemon Pepper Salad Dressing
Add the following ingredients to a small jar with a tight-fitting lid and close the lid tightly.
- 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup)
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard sauce
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
Shake vigorously until combined.

Serving Suggestions
Drizzle this versatile lemon salad dressing over your homemade salad, like crisp lettuce salad with goat cheese, mixed salad greens, or summer vegetable salads, and massage it into your kale, arugula salad, or fruit salads.
You can also pour it on roasted or grilled veggies, chicken, or fish.
It can also be added to your wraps, open toasts, or Buddha bowls.
You can also pour it over your breakfast eggs.
I like to toss my crispy chicken wings in this vinaigrette recipe and make lemon pepper chicken wings. You can similarly make lemon pepper salmon.
