Instructions
Place the dried culinary lavender buds in a small saucepan with 2 tablespoons of water.

Whisk in the honey, Dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice, and white wine vinegar until the mixture is well combined.
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously to create a smooth and emulsified dressing.
