Lemon-Dill Vinaigrette

A refreshing and tangy vinaigrette that will add a burst of flavor to your salads and grilled meats. The lemon juice and white balsamic vinegar provide a bright acidity, while the Dijon mustard adds a touch of creaminess and depth of flavor. The fresh dill adds a herbaceous flavor that complements the lemon and vinegar perfectly.

This vinaigrette was inspired by a trip to the farmers market, where I bought a huge bunch of fresh dill. I was looking for a way to use it up, and I thought a vinaigrette would be a great way to showcase its flavor. I experimented with different proportions of lemon juice, vinegar, and mustard until I found a combination that I loved. I've been making this vinaigrette ever since, and it's become a favorite of mine and my friends and family.
