Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Limoncello
- 6 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 clove, minced Garlic
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon, finely chopped Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Zest of lemon
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the limoncello, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and honey. Whisk until the honey and mustard are fully incorporated.
Add the minced garlic, salt, pepper, fresh thyme leaves, and lemon zest to the bowl. Whisk to combine the flavors.
Slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil while continuing to whisk. This will help emulsify the vinaigrette, making it smooth and well-blended.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as needed to suit your preference.
Transfer the limoncello vinaigrette to a jar or airtight container. Shake well before serving, as the oil may separate over time.
Use immediately over your favorite salad or store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
