Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 small garlic clove (grated)
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon sea salt (more to taste)
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
1/4 to 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon fresh or dried thyme (optional)

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, garlic, mustard, salt, pepper, and honey, if using.
  • Drizzle in the olive oil while whisking and continue to whisk until the dressing is emulsified. Alternatively, combine everything in a jar with a tight-fitting lid and shake to combine.
  • If your dressing is too tangy, add more olive oil, to taste.
