Notes
These measurements are meant to be a guide, and as you make this lemon vinaigrette more often, you'll get used to the amounts you need for your container. A good rule of thumb is to fill the container 1/3 with lemon juice and then almost full with olive oil.
Vinaigrette will keep for several days in the refrigerator. Allow to come to room temperature before using or pop container in the microwave for a few seconds.
