Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 6 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
Peel and finely mince the garlic clove.
In a small bowl or jar, combine the lemon juice, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper.
Whisk the ingredients together until well blended.
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuously whisking to create an emulsified mixture. If using a jar, you can add the olive oil all at once, secure the lid, and shake vigorously until emulsified.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until fully incorporated.
Taste and adjust the seasonings if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or honey to achieve your desired flavor balance.
Use immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Shake well before each use.
