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.

Yum! What a great program. Lemon pairs well with so many flavors
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!
I’m impressed that there’s no salt in this! Do you really not add any. ..at all? The marinade sounds super delish!
This would be awesome on the grill!
I love adding a squeeze of fresh lemon right at the table…it really enhances the flavor of so many dishes! The 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.
A great review girly girl! 🙂 Love the flavors!
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 🙂
looks like a great marinade, got to give it a try 🙂
