Ingredients
- Juice of 1 lemon
- ¼ cup white distilled vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons honey
- ¾ cup olive oil or blended oil
- 2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon finely minced fresh thyme
- Sea salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add the lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, and honey to a medium size bowl.
- Whisk vigorously until it is combined.
- Slowly drizzle in the oil while continuing to vigorously whisk the dressing to emulsify it. The vinaigrette should be thickened and completely combined once all the oil is added.
- Add the chives, thyme, salt, and pepper to the dressing.
- Whisk the vinaigrette together to combine the remaining ingredients. Store or serve it.
Notes
- Make-Ahead: You can make this lemon dressing recipe up to 3 days ahead of time. You can serve this immediately, but more flavors will come out with time. In addition, let it sit at room temperature before serving it.
- How to Store: Place in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 7 to 10 days. This will not freeze.
- You can also use whole-grain mustard instead of Dijon mustard
- Substitute the honey with sugar, maple syrup, or agave if desired.
- Feel free to use any oil you’d like, but I recommend a soft, very light virgin olive oil or any other neutral-flavored oil like sunflower oil. You can also blend the oils together.
- Substitute the green onions with finely diced yellow, white, red, or sweet onions.
- You can also use dry thyme in place of fresh thyme.
- Make this recipe in a stand mixer with the whisk attachment.
- Emulsify is just a fancy culinary term to combine two things that normally wouldn’t go together, like, oil and vinegar.
