Hey guys, Sid here. I just whipped up this killer lemon-herb vinaigrette using some infused olive oil, and honestly, it’s the perfect way to elevate a fresh summer salad without that heavy, sleepy edible vibe.
Here’s how to make it from scratch:
**Ingredients:**
* 1 cup infused olive oil (using our standard batch: 1 cup extra virgin olive oil simmered with 7-10g decarbed flower)
* 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
* 2 cloves garlic, minced
* 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
* 1 tbsp honey
* Salt, pepper, and fresh oregano to taste
**Steps:**
1. **Decarb your bud:** Don't skip this or you won't get active THC. Spread 7-10g of ground flower on a lined baking sheet and bake at 240°F (115°C) for 30–40 minutes to convert the non-psychoactive THCA.
2. **Infuse the oil:** THC is fat-soluble (it won't bind to water), so we need that olive oil as a carrier. Simmer your oil and decarbed flower on low (160–200°F / 70–95°C) for 2–4 hours. Stir occasionally, strain through a cheesecloth, and let it cool.
3. **Blend the dressing:** Whisk the lemon juice, garlic, Dijon, honey, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
4. **Emulsify:** Slowly drizzle in your infused olive oil while whisking vigorously until it’s thick and fully combined.
Just a heads up on dosing: start low and go slow. Aim for about 5-10mg of THC per serving if you're new to this. Label the jar clearly and keep it away from kids and pets.
