Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 cup Fresh lemon juice
- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 whole Zest of lemon
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Peel the garlic cloves and finely mince them or use a garlic press to crush them into a paste.
Finely chop the fresh parsley leaves and set aside.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil and fresh lemon juice.
Add the minced garlic, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Whisk the mixture thoroughly until the ingredients are well combined and the mustard is fully incorporated, creating a smooth consistency.
Stir in the fresh parsley and lemon zest to the mixture, ensuring even distribution throughout the sauce.
Gradually whisk in the water to achieve your desired consistency. The sauce should be thick enough to coat a spoon but not too viscous.

Transfer the sauce to a serving container or storage jar. Use immediately or refrigerate for up to a week.
