Lemon Chive Dressing Recipes

LEMON CHIVE DRESSING

Steps:

• In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the first six ingredients; shake well. Serve over salad greens. Refrigerate leftover dressing.

ZUCCHINI SPAGHETTI WITH CREAMY LEMON-CHIVE DRESSING

Steps:

• Using the julienne blade of a mandoline, slice zucchini into long, thin strips. Transfer zucchini to a colander set over a mixing bowl. Toss zucchini with salt. Let stand 15 minutes at room temperature.
• Gently squeeze zucchini to extract excess water. Transfer to a bowl and toss with just enough dressing to evenly coat the zucchini. Season with fleur de sel and serve.

ROMAINE HEARTS WITH LEMON CHIVE VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Whisk lemon juice, mustard, and sugar together in a bowl. Add chives and whisk in oil in a slow stream. Season dressing with salt and pepper.
• Quarter each heart of romaine lengthwise. Trim core at ends. Place 2 quarters on each salad plate. They're served whole, covered with dressing. Halve a few grape tomatoes and place at plates' edge for garnish. Drizzle salads liberally with vinaigrette and serve.

LEMON & CHIVE MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Mix the egg yolks with the mustard powder, pepper, 1 tbsp cider vinegar and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Mix the oils together in a jug. Use an electric whisk to whisk the yolk mixture, then very slowly, drip-by-drip, add the oil. When the mixture is pale and thicker, and no oil is visible, swap from a drip to a slow, steady stream - whisking all the while.
• When all the oil is added and you have a thick mayonnaise, taste and season with more vinegar, salt and pepper. Stir in the lemon zest and chives, then chill until ready to serve.

EASY BAKED SALMON WITH LEMON AND CHIVES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan or baking dish with parchment for easy clean-up and to prevent fish from sticking.
• Rinse salmon with cold water and pat dry with paper towel.
• Place salmon skin side down on sheet pan and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Bake for 20 minutes or until flaky. You can also check the internal temperature with a thermometer (my Thermapen is my right-hand man in the kitchen). I like to cook salmon to an internal temperature of 145°F.
• Meanwhile, combine dressing ingredients in a small bowl.
• Enjoy immediately with dressing drizzled over top of salmon fillets.

CREAMY LEMON-CHIVE DRESSING
