Ingredients
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 garlic clove minced or pressed
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard I prefer whole grain
- 1/2 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
- 1/3 cup olive oil extra virgin
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh or dried herbs like thyme or rosemary
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, garlic, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, pepper, and herbs if using. Then drizzle in the olive oil and whisk to emulsify.
- Or, you can add the ingredients to a tight-fitting lidded jar and vigorously shake to combine the ingredients.
- If the dressing is too lemony or tangy, add a bit more olive oil.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. The dressing will solidify slightly, to soften, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes and then stir.
