Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole Preserved lemon
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon White wine vinegar
- 0.5 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Rinse the preserved lemon under cold water to remove excess salt, then pat dry.
Slice the preserved lemon in half. Use a spoon to remove and discard the pulp. Finely mince the peel.
Peel and finely chop the garlic clove.
Add the minced preserved lemon peel, lemon juice, white wine vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, chopped garlic, and black pepper to a blender or food processor.
Blend the ingredients until smooth, about 15-20 seconds.
With the blender or processor running on low speed, slowly drizzle in the olive oil, allowing the mixture to emulsify.
If the vinaigrette is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time and blend until your desired consistency is reached.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust seasoning, adding more pepper or honey if desired.
Transfer to a jar or container with a lid. Refrigerate until ready to use. Shake well before serving.
