Add the lemon juice and whisk again to incorporate it fully into the mixture.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding a little more honey for sweetness or more vinegar for tanginess.
For best results, let the dressing sit covered in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Use immediately by tossing with shredded cabbage and carrots or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
