Chef Notes & Culinary Applications
Zesty Mediterranean Profile: Substituting fresh lemon juice for traditional vinegar creates a clean, vibrant acidity that cuts through rich greens and grilled proteins.
Serving Ideas: Outstanding for Greek salads with feta and kalamata olives, grilled chicken breast salads, shaved fennel and parmesan carpaccio, or as a finishing drizzle over grilled fish.
