Citrus Infused Greens with Pantry and Fridge Staples

Whether you're trying to eat more vegetables, be healthier, increase energy, improve sleep, lose weight or just be happy - this citrus dressing will be useful for you!

I have a lemon tree busting at the seams and I've been trying to find new ways to use lemons in my recipes. With this spring-like weather, a salad sounded like a delicious lunch but no dressing in the pantry! I threw together this dressing in 30 seconds with whatever was in my spice drawer and then threw together a salad with dinner leftovers and whatever vegetables I found in the fridge. So quick and easy!
