Lemon Dijon Vinaigrette
Add a burst of fresh flavor to your meals with homemade Lemon Dijon Vinaigrette. Perfect for salads or as a versatile marinade.
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves, chopped (or other herb)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced or grated
- kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper
- ¾ cup extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, mustard, thyme, honey, garlic, and a generous pinch each of kosher salt and black pepper until well combined. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until it is well incorporated. Or, place all the ingredients in a leak-proof jar, seal it up and shake vigorously until well combined!
Notes
Because this dressing contains fresh ingredients, it is best to store it in the refrigerator to preserve those ingredients and flavors. Keep it in an airtight jar or bottle and refrigerate up to one week. Let it rest at room temperature for 15 minutes or so before using. Because some separation may occur, give it a good shake or stir to recombine.
