Description

A bright and balanced honey lemon vinaigrette made with fresh lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, and olive oil—perfect for salads, marinades, and drizzling over vegetables.


Ingredients

4 ounces olive oil

2 tablespoons lemon juice (juice of 1 lemon)

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons honey (or to taste)

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper


Instructions

  1. Add the olive oil, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper to a food processor.
  2. Blend until the dressing is smooth and fully emulsified.
  3. Transfer the vinaigrette to a jar or airtight container.
  4. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
  5. Shake or stir before using if separation occurs.

Notes

Whisking by hand works if a food processor is unavailable.

Fresh lemon juice provides the best flavor.

Natural separation is normal; shake well before serving.

Adjust honey and lemon juice to control sweetness and tang.

Store refrigerated for up to 7 days.
