Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 1 large lemon)
- 1/2 cup olive oil (extra-virgin for flavor)

- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup for a vegan version)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Combine the fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, and honey in a mixing bowl. Whisk briefly so the honey begins to dissolve.
- Slowly stream in the olive oil while whisking constantly to emulsify the dressing.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste and give it one final whisk.
- Transfer to a jar or pour over your salad. Use immediately or chill briefly.
Notes
Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Shake or whisk to recombine if the oil separates.
