Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 tablespoon fresh herbs such as parsley or dill, finely chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl or a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice and minced garlic.

Step 2

Add the Dijon mustard, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper to the lemon juice mixture.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Slowly drizzle the extra virgin olive oil into the mixture while continuously whisking to emulsify the vinaigrette. If using a jar, add the olive oil all at once and shake again until the ingredients are well combined and a smooth emulsion forms.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Optional: Stir in finely chopped fresh herbs like parsley or dill for added flavor.

Step 7

Store the vinaigrette in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake well before each use as the oil may separate over time.
