I have always had a love affair with citrus and will pretty much use it anything I can get away with. This super simple lemon Dijon marinade is the perfect vehicle to make my citrus fantasies come true – packed with fresh lemon, honey, Dijon mustard and flavorful spices. I LOVE it on chicken but it’s pretty delicious on shellfish and even on vegetables!

Although I think 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 think my problem with sodium is that, though I know what foods it’s found it…I love it so much that I eat them anyway! With running so much, I don’t think it really hurts me so much cause I sweat a lot of it out, but I could still afford to use more lemon in my life! This marinade sounds delicious!

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

    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 🙂
