Zesty Honey Mustard Vinaigrette

Ingredients

6 servings
|
  • 1/2 cup
    Olive oil extra virgin or Avocado oil
  • 1/4 cup
    Lemon juice fresh or Lime juice
  • 2 tbsp
    Dijon mustard smooth or Whole grain mustard
  • 1.5 tbsp
    Honey raw or Maple syrup
  • 1 clove
    Garlic minced or Garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp
    Salt sea or Kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp
    Black pepper freshly ground or White pepper

Instructions

1

Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and honey in a mixing bowl.

Whisking the ingredients slowly helps to emulsify the dressing for a smoother texture.

Ingredients needed for this step

olive oil lemon juice Dijon mustard honey
2

Add the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to the mixture and whisk until well combined.

Adjust the seasoning to your taste by adding more salt or pepper if needed.

Ingredients needed for this step

3

Transfer the dressing to an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use.

Refrigerating the dressing allows the flavors to meld together for a more cohesive taste.

4

Shake the container or stir the dressing before serving to recombine any separated ingredients.

Separation is natural; a quick shake or stir will bring the dressing back together.
