With just four ingredients — lemon juice, olive oil, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper — Ina Garten’s zesty, versatile dressing is too easy and delicious to ignore.

Garten makes a tasty dressing with just a ¼ cup lemon juice, ½ cup olive oil, salt, and pepper. The fruity tones of olive oil are well balanced with the refreshing blast of lemon.

Lemon juice serves as the acidic backbone, giving the vinaigrette a bright, tangy flavor and eliminating the need for vinegar in this version.
