Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 3 tablespoons (freshly squeezed) Lemon juice
- 6 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 clove (minced) Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon (freshly ground) Black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the fresh parsley and pat it dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel. Chop it finely until you have 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley.
In a small mixing bowl or a jar with a lid, combine the lemon juice, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper.
Whisk the mixture together (or shake the jar vigorously) until the ingredients are well combined.
Slowly drizzle the olive oil into the mixture while whisking continuously to emulsify the vinaigrette.
Stir in the chopped parsley until evenly distributed.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or a touch more honey if desired.
Serve immediately over salads, roasted vegetables, or use as a marinade for grilled proteins. Store any leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake or whisk vigorously before use as the oil may separate.
