- 10 grams Honey
- 1 small (minced) Garlic clove

Instructions
Rinse the fresh lovage leaves thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt, then pat them dry with a kitchen towel.

Whisk the ingredients together until smooth and well combined.
Add the chopped lovage leaves, salt, and black pepper to the mixture, and whisk again until evenly distributed.
Use water to thin the dressing to your desired consistency, adding it gradually while whisking.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if necessary by adding more salt, pepper, or honey to balance flavors.
Transfer the dressing to a clean jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
