Slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil while continuously whisking to emulsify the dressing.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Whisk again to combine.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning as needed, adding a bit more honey for sweetness or lemon juice for extra tang.
Transfer the dressing to a sealed container or mason jar for storage. Shake well before each use.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 1 week. Allow to come to room temperature and whisk before serving if stored.
