Honey Lemon Vinaigrette (Printable Version)

A bright, tangy-sweet dressing ready in 5 minutes. Perfect for salads and marinades.

# What You'll Need:

01 - 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)

02 - 2 tablespoons honey

03 - 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard

04 - 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

05 - 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

06 - 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

01 - In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined.

02 - Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking constantly, until the vinaigrette is emulsified and smooth.

03 - Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or honey as desired.

04 - Use immediately or store in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Shake or whisk before each use.

01 -

It comes together in literally five minutes with ingredients you probably already have in your pantry
The honey mellows the lemon's acidity just enough to make it universally appealing, even to people who swear they hate vinegar-based dressings

02 -

The dressing will solidify slightly in the refrigerator because of the olive oil, but let it sit at room temperature for five minutes and it'll return to its liquid state
If your honey is crystallized and hard to measure, warm the jar in a bowl of hot water for a few minutes first

03 -

Make this directly in a Mason jar and you can store and shake it in the same container, saving dishes
If the dressing separates on you, just whisk it again vigorously or give it a serious shake in the jar
