 When it comes to dressings and marinades, I love to feature pantry staples with the addition of a few fresh flavours. Not only is it convenient but it takes some of the stress out of having fresh flavourful options readily available in a pinch. Plus, no fuss marinades are truly easy and ready in less than 2 minutes flat… it doesn’t get much better than that! There’s no chopping, mincing or dicing required. Simply add all ingredients to a high speed blender or food processor and blend until smooth. That’s it that’s all! Drizzle over your protein or vegetable of choice and allow the flavours to come together for a couple hours prior to roasting, sautéing or grilling. Leftover dressing can be drizzled over the accompanying side salad. I love when recipes are versatile because let’s be honest, when it comes to spring and summer cooking, who wants to be spending hours in the kitchen preparing a meal when you can be soaking up the sunshine! 

I hope you enjoy this wellth approved recipe, it’s one of my personal favourites!
