Ingredients
- 0.25 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 0.5 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon raw honey
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by juicing fresh lemons until you have a quarter cup of lemon juice. This will typically require 2 to 3 lemons, depending on their size and juiciness.
Step 2
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, and Dijon mustard.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic to the mixture. For a smoother dressing, you can use a garlic press to ensure the garlic is finely minced.
Step 4
Stir in the raw honey to balance the acidity of the lemon juice. Make sure the honey is well integrated into the mixture.
Step 5
Season the dressing with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Step 6
Whisk the mixture vigorously until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the dressing is emulsified.
Step 7
Transfer the lemon vinaigrette to a sealable jar or a salad dressing shaker. Shake the sealed container well before each use to recombine the ingredients, as natural separation may occur.
Step 8
Store in the refrigerator for up to one week. The dressing may solidify slightly in the refrigerator due to the olive oil, so allow it to come to room temperature before using, or run the container under warm water to liquefy.
