“Make & Shake” (in a mason jar) fresh homemade Parmesan Lemon Vinaigrette. A tasty salad dressing recipe made in minutes with fresh ingredients!

Wait, did you say Parmesan Lemon Vinaigrette?

Um yes, I did. My dear friend Kim and I tried a new restaurant and we fell in love with their parmesan vinaigrette.

And of course we talked about it most of the way home.

Then I got to thinking, I will surprise Kim the next time she comes to dinner. And so it happened.

A fresh new twist on my regular homemade vinaigrette…

I served this dressing on a simple green salad, with White Lasagna, and cheese toast. Yum.
