I have always had a love affair with citrus and will use it in anything I can get away with.

This super simple lemon Dijon marinade is the perfect vehicle to make my citrus fantasies come true.

It contains fresh lemon, honey, Dijon mustard, and flavorful spices. I LOVE it on chicken, but it’s pretty delicious on shellfish and vegetables!

However, the best part is that it uses simple ingredients I easily keep on hand and can be whipped up in less than 5 minutes.

So easy. So delicious. So perfect.

I love using lemon (and limes) as salt-alternatives. Especially since I always thought I had my salt intake under control, but after keeping diaries of my food intake, the harsh reality set in. Great post :)

Love the honey addition. Gives just that extra. This would be great for chicken too. I must admit I love salt though.
