Ingredients

    Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon honey (optional for balance)
  • 1 small garlic clove (minced)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper


Instructions

  1. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  2. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously until the dressing is emulsified.
