Print Recipe

A quick and simple vinaigrette made with fresh lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, and honey that brightens up any salad with a fresh, zesty flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil (120 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon raw honey (15 ml)
  • Optional: pinch of salt
  • Optional: pinch of freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Roll lemons on the counter to soften, then cut in half and juice to extract about 3 tablespoons (45 ml) of fresh lemon juice. Strain out seeds if needed.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the fresh lemon juice and 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of honey. Whisk gently to dissolve the honey.
  3. Slowly drizzle in 1/2 cup (120 ml) of extra virgin olive oil while whisking continuously to emulsify the dressing.
  4. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more honey if desired. Add a pinch of salt or black pepper for extra flavor if preferred.
  5. Use immediately or transfer to a sealed jar and refrigerate. Shake or whisk before serving if separation occurs.

Notes

Use fresh lemon juice for best flavor. Add olive oil slowly while whisking to emulsify and prevent separation. Shake or whisk before serving if the dressing separates. Honey can be substituted with maple syrup or agave for a vegan option.
