Ingredients
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
- ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup - optional, for a touch of sweetness
- 1 small clove garlic - minced or pressed
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- salt and pepper - to taste (start with ¼ teaspoon of salt and a pinch of pepper)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and honey or sugar until well combined.
- Add the minced garlic.
- Gradually whisk in the olive oil until the mixture is well emulsified.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Adjust the flavors as needed. If it's too tart, add a little more olive oil or honey; if it's too mild, add more lemon juice or a pinch of salt.

Notes
How to store: Store in the fridge in a sealed container for up to 2 weeks. If the oil solidifies in the fridge, leave it at room temperature for 10 minutes. Then give it a good shake or stir before using, as the oil and lemon juice may separate when sitting.
