Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 1 clove Garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel and finely mince the garlic clove. Alternatively, use a garlic press for a smoother consistency.

Step 2

In a small bowl or a jar with a lid, combine the lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Whisk the ingredients together until well combined. If using a jar, secure the lid and shake vigorously.

Step 4

Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously to create a smooth and emulsified dressing. If using a jar, add the olive oil all at once and shake until emulsified.

Step 5

Taste the vinaigrette and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.

Step 6

Use immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Shake or whisk before serving as separation may occur.
