Lemon Vinaigrette

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

  • 1 small garlic clove, grated

  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, more to taste

  • Freshly ground black pepper

  • 1/2 teaspoon honey or maple syrup, optional

  • 1/4 to 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh or dried thyme, optional

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, garlic, mustard, salt, pepper, and honey, if using.

  • Drizzle in the olive oil while whisking and continue to whisk until the dressing is emulsified. Alternatively, combine everything in a jar with a tight-fitting lid and shake to combine.

  • If your dressing is too tangy, add more olive oil, to taste.

  • Add the thyme, if desired, and season to taste. Store in the fridge for up to 1 week. The olive oil will solidify a bit in the fridge. To soften, let the dressing sit at room temp for a few minutes and stir before using.
