Tips

  • The lemon really lifts the flavor, so make sure to use a good amount.
  • You can customize the recipe, for example, by adding less oil or changing the type of oil.
  • You can substitute feta with another ingredient if desired.
  • Consider skipping maple syrup/honey for a brighter lemon vinaigrette if preferred.
