The busy days of summer mean that I don’t always feel like making dinner. It’s hot outside and we’ve been out enjoy the beauty that Cape Cod has to offer. Calling it quits on the fun times to make dinner is the last thing on my mind. That’s why I was thrilled to discover LEAN CUISINE® Marketplace meals in the frozen food section of my local Walmart.
Serving my family protein packed options is important to me. These new recipes with modern health benefits are tailored specifically for you! If Organic Ingredients, Gluten-Free, or Protein Packed are important to you, you’ll love these new recipes.
Whenever I take a little help from the store with my main course, I use the time saved to whip up something quick. Tonight, I decided to prepare an easy homemade salad dressing. The salad dressing recipe can be adjusted to please your taste buds, too.
Ingredients
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 white balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon or lime juice
3 TBSP honey
2 TBSP whole grain dijon mustard
2 TBSP minced garlic
salt and pepper to taste
In a small mason jar, combine the olive oil, white balsamic vinegar, and lime juice.
I love how the liquids separate based on their density. {My inner chemistry-geek is coming out today!}
Add the remaining ingredients, then put the lid on your mason jar and shake well. If you think you’ve shaken it well enough, shake it some more. You want all of the flavors to combine.
Create a simple summer meal for your family by serving the high-protein Marketplace Sweet & Spicy Korean-Style Beef, Marketplace Ricotta Cheese & Spinach Ravioli {made with organic ricotta cheese and tomatoes}, or the gluten free Marketplace Comfort Chicken in Sweet BBQ Sauce with a salad topped with homemade salad dressing. Less time in the kitchen means more time for what’s important, like watching the sunset.
