Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1/2 cup Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl or a glass jar with a lid, combine the lime juice, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and lime zest.
Whisk the ingredients together until well combined and the honey and mustard are fully dissolved into the lime juice.
While continuing to whisk (or with the jar lid secured tightly if using a jar), slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the mixture is emulsified and smooth. This will give the vinaigrette a creamy texture.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper to taste.
Store the vinaigrette in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake or stir well before each use to recombine any separated ingredients.
Serve over your favorite salad greens, vegetables, or as a marinade for chicken or fish.
