Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Peel and finely mince the garlic clove. Alternatively, use a garlic press for a smoother consistency.
In a small bowl or a jar with a lid, combine the lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Whisk the ingredients together until well combined. If using a jar, secure the lid and shake vigorously.
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously to create a smooth and emulsified dressing. If using a jar, add the olive oil all at once and shake until emulsified.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Use immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Shake or whisk before serving as separation may occur.
