Ingredients
Scale
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
Fresh herbs like basil or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Cut your lemons in half and use a citrus juicer to extract 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice.
In a medium-sized bowl or a mason jar, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper. If you're using garlic, add it here.
Whisk the mixture until it's well-combined, or place the lid on your mason jar and shake vigorously until emulsified.
Slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil while whisking continuously, or add it to your jar and shake again until fully emulsified.
Taste your vinaigrette and adjust the seasoning as needed.
