Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Water (optional, for thinning)
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the fresh lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is well combined.
Slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil while continuously whisking to emulsify the vinaigrette.
Stir in the finely chopped dill, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the dressing.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice, if necessary.
If the vinaigrette is too thick, add the optional tablespoon of water and whisk again to achieve desired consistency.
Transfer the vinaigrette to a jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Shake well before each use.
