Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1 clove Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel and finely mince the garlic clove. Alternatively, crush it into a paste using the flat side of a knife for a smoother vinaigrette.

Step 2

In a small bowl or a glass jar with a lid, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and honey.

Step 3

Gradually drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously to create an emulsion. If using a jar, add the olive oil and shake vigorously until combined.

Step 4

Season the vinaigrette with salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting if necessary.

Step 5

Taste the dressing and adjust ingredients as needed (for example, add more honey for sweetness or more lemon juice for acidity).

Step 6

Use immediately on your favorite salad, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Shake well before each use.
