For a more intense lemon flavor, allow the vinaigrette to sit for at least 30 minutes before serving. If you prefer a smoother vinaigrette, you can use a blender or immersion blender to emulsify the ingredients. Experiment with adding fresh herbs such as dill, parsley, or thyme for added complexity. To make it vegan, substitute the sugar with agave or maple syrup.
