The magic of Meyer Lemons was only discovered last year, but I could not find them anywhere. As soon as Meyer lemons were in season, in late December, I bought a Costco-sized container of Meyers.
This vinaigrette is my favorite thing to make with lemons. It’s the perfect combination of tartness and sweetness to complement the fresh pears and crunchy walnuts, as well as creamy goat cheese.
The salad will be a regular at our home, but I am a little worried about when Meyer lemons go out of season. Lemons from the supermarket won’t do!
