Ingredients Method

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

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, garlic, mustard, salt, pepper, and honey, if using.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
