This dressing balances tart lemon juice with the gentle heat of Dijon mustard, smoothed out with olive oil and a touch of honey. It comes together in minutes with just a whisk or jar, and works well drizzled over leafy greens, roasted vegetables, or grilled chicken.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground

Method

  1. In a medium bowl or jar, whisk together the lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, lemon zest, salt, and pepper until smooth.

  2. While whisking continuously, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the dressing is fully emulsified and smooth.

  3. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or honey as needed.

  4. Transfer to a sealed jar or airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use. Shake or whisk well before serving, as the dressing may separate.
