Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice from about 2 lemons
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup for vegan option
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Equipment

  • Small bowl or jar with lid
  • Whisk or fork

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl or jar, combine the fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Whisk or shake well to mix.
  2. Slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil while whisking or shaking continuously to emulsify the dressing. This will help the oil and other ingredients blend smoothly.

Notes

Chef's Tips:
• For a creamier texture, add a tablespoon of Greek yogurt or mayonnaise.
• Avoid over-whisking to prevent the dressing from becoming too thick.
• Serve immediately or let it sit for 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Food Safety:
• Store in the refrigerator and use within a week.
• Always use clean utensils to prevent contamination.
