I discovered the magic of Meyer lemons just last year but by the time I found out about it, I couldn’t find them anywhere! So as soon as they were in season late December, I got a huge Costco-sized box of Meyer lemons.
I’ve made so many things with these lemons but my most favorite way to use them is in this vinaigrette. With just enough tartness and sweetness, it serves as the perfect complement to the fresh pears, crunchy walnuts and creamy goat cheese.
This salad will definitely be in rotation at our house, although I’m a bit worried for when Meyer lemons are out of season. Regular lemons just won’t cut it!
