Lemon Love: Lemon Vinaigrette
Looking for a new way to dress your greens? Enter lemon vinaiGREAT! This citrusy vinaigrette comes together in no time and adds elegant flavor to any type of salad bowl. It beats most store-bought versions because it’s lower in calories, fat and sodium—and free of additives and preservatives. You can also drizzle it on sliced cucumbers or avocado as a tasty side or snack. Dress to impress.
Lemon Love: Lemon Chicken Soup with Orzo
This soup is on standard rotation in my house—it’s lemony, creamy and totally satisfying. The veggies (onion and carrots) combined with delicious seasonings (garlic, dill) and, of course, the lemon juice and zest offer up a nourishing trifecta that’s good to the very last slurp. Not to mention, it’s the perfect way to use up leftover rotisserie chicken (no food waste). I use orzo but you can swap in any small whole-grain pasta you like, including elbows, shells and so on.
Lemon Love: Lemon Herb Roast Salmon
The secret to this salmon dish is keeping it simple: a little salt and pepper, some minced herbs of your choice and lemon slices—that’s it. Roast until the salmon is cooked through (about 10 minutes) and then finish it off under the broiler to crisp the top and brown the lemon slices. You’ll end up with a restaurant-style dish that will excite your guests and delight your diners. (You can also grill the salmon if you prefer.) Y’all will be hooked.
Lemon Love: Lemon Chicken Piccata
Chicken piccata is a popular restaurant option that entails dredging chicken cutlets in flour, browning them and then serving them in a lemony-butter sauce. Oh my goodness, it’s so darn yummy! I health-ify the classic by skipping the flouring step and minimizing butter by coupling it with EVOO. You will not be disappointed—it’s every bit as saucy, scrumptious and satisfying as the real deal.
Lemon Love: Lemon-Thyme Chicken Paillard
Pounding chicken breasts to create ultra-thin cutlets has a few tasty benefits: It creates super tender meat and allows you to cook for a shorter time, which helps lock in moisture. This whole recipe takes just 15 minutes (including just 10 minutes of cook time). It’s great for rushed weekday dinners, and not only because it’s fast. It’s also fuss-free; it requires only a few easy steps and a handful of basic ingredients. The result is anything but basic—it’s juicy and delivers an extra-special, elegant meal.
Lemon Love: Tropical LimonCello Slushy
This is like sipping summer straight from the glass. If you like Pina-Coladas (and getting caught in the rain🎶), you’ll enjoy this tasty twist, which features a combo of pineapple and creamy lemony flavor (thanks to the lemon juice and LaCroix LimonCello Sparkling water). The best part: This sweet sip has not a drop of added sugar. You’re welcome
Lemon Love: Lemon Lime Coconut Sorbet
Lemon + lime + coconut = dreamy dessert. I’ve combined all these wonderful flavors into a creamy sorbet that’s the perfect combo of sweet and tart. If you’re making it for a get-together, you can prepare it ahead of time and then simply blend right before serving. You can also swap almond milk for coconut milk for an icier-like granita spin.
Lemon Love: Lemon Bars
This treat features a short-bread-like crust and an ooey-gooey citrusy center that’s sure to make your lips pucker. It’s gluten-free and dairy-free, and boasts some impressive stats (each serving delivers 6 grams of protein and 3 g fiber). They’re so delish, you may not be able to “spare a square.” Let’s just say we’ve raised the lemon bar with this recipe rendition.
