Ingredients
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 small garlic clove, grated
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt, more to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon honey, or maple syrup optional
- ¼ to ⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon fresh or dried thyme optional
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, garlic, mustard, salt, pepper, and honey, if using.
- While whisking continuously, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. Keep whisking until the dressing is smooth and emulsified. Alternatively, for an even easier method, you can combine all ingredients in a jar with a tight-fitting lid and shake vigorously until combined.
- Taste the dressing. If it's too tangy for your liking, whisk in a little more olive oil. Stir in the thyme, if desired, and season to taste with more salt or pepper.
