New LEMON-BASED Salad & Marinades by Lemonette
The beautiful ladies at Lemonette Dressings were kind enough to send me a couple of bottles of their new, exclusively, LEMON-BASED salad dressings and marinades to use for recipe testing.
If you've been following my site in recent years, you're already aware of my obsession with lemons from reading numerous recipes here on the blog. Suffice to say, I'm crazy about lemon, which is why this recipe and my style are a match made in heaven!
Inspiration
Lemonettes lemon-based dressing and marinades were the inspiration for my summer-crisp salad: Grilled Garlic Lemon Nectarines and Jicama Fennel Slaw made with the Lemonette Gourmet Lemon Garlic Dressing.
The combination of the dressing's clean citrus flavor and garlic is the perfect match for the light licorice notes of fresh fennel, and the slightly sweet crunch of jicama, apples, and water chestnuts. Grilled nectarines perched atop this summer wonder create a mouthful of decadent flavors. I topped my salad with a little blue cheese; however, feta crumbles will do just fine to add a touch of creaminess to the salad. Don't be afraid to add your favorite grilled protein for the perfect summer meal.
