this fruity-tarty dressing mingles well with organicgirl’s sweet and tender spring mix greens. need a quick marinade? (we’re thinking chicken or shrimp, maybe?) try it on quinoa or rice! now that’s nice! plus, give these recipes a try: lemon chicken quinoa bowl, lemon niçoise salad

keeps refrigerated for 3 weeks.

The last time I tried this dressing it was way too sweet. It was like lemon drops on my salad. I would cut back or leave out the agave.
