Lemon Basil Ginger Salad Dressing from cookingontheweekends.com would also make a great marinade!

  • 1 cup Meyer lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons shallots, finely minced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons fresh ginger pulp
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1½ tablespoons honey
  • ¾ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves, washed and dried
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste

In a small mixing bowl or large jar, combine the lemon juice, orange juice, shallots, garlic, ginger, salt and honey. If you’re using a bowl, gradually whisk in the oil, stir in the basil leaves and season to taste with the pepper. If necessary, add more salt. If you’re using a jar, add all of the ingredients, put the lid on tightly and shake. If necessary, add more salt.
