Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons finely diced shallot
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon champagne vinegar
2 Meyer lemons
1 teaspoon honey
3/4 cup pitted Lucques olives, chopped
2 tablespoons sliced flat-leaf parsley
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Place the shallot, champagne vinegar, and a healthy pinch of salt in a small bowl, and let sit 5 minutes.
Slice the stem and blossom ends from the Meyer lemons. Stand the lemons on one end, and cut them vertically into 1/8-inch slices. Stack the slices in small piles on a cutting board, and cut them lengthwise into 1/8-inch-thick matchsticks. Line up the matchsticks, and cut them into 1/8-inch cubes.
Add the diced lemon to the shallot. Stir in the honey, olives, parsley, a pinch of pepper, and the olive oil. Taste for balance and seasoning.
