Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.25 cup Fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove Minced garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Stevia or erythritol sweetener
- 0.5 teaspoon Grated lemon zest
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, freshly ground black pepper, and sweetener.
Whisk the ingredients together until well combined.
Slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil, whisking continuously to emulsify the dressing. This can be done by pouring the olive oil in a thin, steady stream while you whisk.
Once the olive oil is fully incorporated, add the grated lemon zest to the mixture and whisk again to combine.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust the salt, pepper, or sweetener to your preference.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid for storage.
Refrigerate for up to 1 week and shake well before each use.
