Ingredients
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest from one lemon
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper to taste
- ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Zest the lemon on a finer grater or microplane. Grate the garlic finely, also. Juice the lemon.
- Add the lemon juice, garlic, lemon zest, mustard and spices to a cruet or a mason jar with a lid.
- Add extra-virgin olive oil to the jar. Screw the cap onto the jar and shake vigorously for a minute or so. The dressing can also be mixed with a whisk or an immersion blender, if you make it in a small bowl, or mix it in a small food processor to make it emulsify.

Notes
- Serving size is based on one tablespoon, which is a lot of honey lemon dressing to put on a salad.
- How to store the dressing
- Store this Honey lemon vinaigrette dressing in a jar, cruet or another airtight container in the fridge for a week or more. Take it out an hour before you use it for salads so the oil can warm up to room temperature.
- How to use it
- Use it as a dressing for your favorite salads. We love it on this Roasted Vegetable Salad but it’s also delicious on a green salad.
- It’s the perfect marinade for chicken, seafood and fish.
