This homemade version of a store-bought favorite is so easy to make, and you get to control the quality of the ingredients. I make a big batch and always keep it on hand in the fridge. The best part is it will last 5 days in the fridge, so it is perfect for a last-minute salad or marinade.

1/2 cup lemon juice (from about 2 lemons)
