This was so simple &amp; amazing! I had no almonds, so I used pepitas &amp; as well as blueberry chèvre! Definitely a keeper!

I made for an Easter side dish. This was so good! I’ll definitely be making this again.

Hello, Rachel, I made your lovely lemon vinaigrette today to go atop my own rendition of a spinach salad.  I used gorgeous Meyer lemons from a friend's tree.  Your recipe for this dressing is perfectly flavored.  We  have many salads this vinaigrette will be perfect for!   Best,  Dianna
