Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1.5 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 1 clove Garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (optional for creaminess)
• 1 tablespoon Water (to thin, if needed)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and finely mince the garlic clove or use a garlic press to make it into a paste-like consistency.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 3

Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously to create a smooth and emulsified dressing.

Step 4

If you prefer a creamier dressing, whisk in the Greek yogurt until integrated. Adjust the consistency by adding water one teaspoon at a time until it reaches your desired thickness.

Step 5

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if necessary.

Step 6

Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container. Shake well before each use, as it may separate over time.

Step 7

Store in the refrigerator and use within 1 week.
