Mediterranean Lemon Dressing
Ingredients: (yields 4 servings)
1/4 cup extra-virgin Olive oil
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup
1 clove garlic, pressed and minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
dash of red pepper flakes & dried thyme
Instructions:
Combine oil, lemon juice, mustard, honey, garlic cloves, and spices in a bowl.
Whisk the ingredients together until emulsified. Taste, and add additional salt or honey if necessary. The dressing should be a little tart, but if it’s too tart, add a little more sweetener to balance out the flavors. If it’s not tart enough for your liking, you can add more lemon juice.
Store in a jar with a tight lid in the refrigerator after using. Always give the dressing jar a couple of shakes before serving. Olive oil will solidify when refrigerated, so make sure to take it out a few minutes before serving.
