This delicious, garlic lemon vinaigrette is the perfect dressing for those evenings when you end up having salad because it’s just too hot.

The California heat is really beating down on us hard at the moment. We keep teetering into triple digits and then back out again. With my one little air conditioner and a few fans, the house is generally warm this time of year, so cooking is not always an option. But that doesn’t mean we don’t eat well.

Ahaan – I’m not sure I would drink it, but it’s great on salad. 🙂

How long will this stay good in the fridge?

Kel – The proper answer would be 3 days. But I’ve had it last much longer then that. My guess would be up to two weeks, but you’ll have to play it by ear.
