Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
• 6 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 clove Garlic
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Fresh cilantro
• 1 teaspoon Zest of lime

Directions

Step 1

Begin by juicing fresh limes to yield approximately 3 tablespoons of juice. Ensure no seeds are present.

Step 2

Finely chop one clove of garlic. The garlic should be minced to small pieces to distribute its flavor evenly.

Step 3

In a medium-sized bowl or a jar with a lid, combine the lime juice, extra virgin olive oil, honey, and Dijon mustard.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the mix, along with freshly ground black pepper.

Step 5

Finely chop fresh cilantro to achieve 1 tablespoon. Add this to the vinaigrette mixture.

Step 6

Using a fine grater or zester, grate the zest of one lime into the mixture for an additional citrusy aroma.

Step 7

Whisk all the ingredients together vigorously or, if using a jar, secure the lid and shake well until the ingredients are fully emulsified.

Step 8

Taste the vinaigrette and adjust the flavor if necessary, adding more pepper or lime juice to balance flavors to your preference.

Step 9

Serve immediately or refrigerate in a sealed container. Shake or stir well before using as ingredients may separate over time.
