What it is

Lemon vinaigrette is a dressing made primarily from lemon juice and oil, often with added seasonings like salt, pepper, and herbs. It's a common salad dressing and marinade, offering a bright, tangy flavor profile.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use lemon vinaigrette to add a zesty, acidic flavor to salads, marinades, and grain bowls. Its oil and acid components also help to emulsify and bind other ingredients, enhancing the overall texture and taste of food products.

Health notes

Lemon vinaigrette is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. The primary components, lemon juice and oil, are common food items with no specific health concerns at typical consumption levels. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated many food ingredients, but specific evaluations for 'lemon vinaigrette' as a whole are not typically found. Evidence regarding health effects is based on the individual components.

Allergen info

Lemon vinaigrette is not a major allergen. It does not contain milk, egg, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soy, or sesame. It is also gluten-free.
