This simple vinaigrette balances fresh lemon juice with extra-virgin olive oil, a touch of Dijon mustard, and honey for a glossy, well-rounded dressing. It works equally well over leafy greens, roasted vegetables, or grilled fish, and keeps in the refrigerator for easy use throughout the week.

Ingredients

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

Method

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

  2. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking constantly until the dressing emulsifies and thickens slightly, or combine all ingredients in a jar and shake vigorously until blended.

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

  4. Transfer to a sealed container or jar and refrigerate until ready to use; shake or whisk again before serving as the dressing may separate.
