    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.
