Print Recipe

A quick and easy homemade salad dressing combining fresh lemon juice, honey, garlic, and olive oil for a bright, tangy, and sweet flavor that emulsifies perfectly in a mason jar.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ⅓ cup (80 ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons (45 ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) raw honey
  • 1 large garlic clove, finely minced
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) apple cider vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon (1 ml) freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Finely mince one large garlic clove. Optionally roast it at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes to reduce bite.
  2. Juice 3 tablespoons (45 ml) of fresh lemon juice.
  3. Pour ⅓ cup (80 ml) extra virgin olive oil, 3 tablespoons (45 ml) lemon juice, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) raw honey, and 1 tablespoon (15 ml) apple cider vinegar into a 16 oz (500 ml) mason jar.
  4. Add the minced garlic, 1 teaspoon (5 ml) Dijon mustard, ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) sea salt, and ¼ teaspoon (1 ml) freshly ground black pepper to the jar.
  5. Seal the jar tightly and shake vigorously for about 30 seconds until emulsified and creamy.
  6. Taste and adjust sweetness or acidity by adding more honey or olive oil as desired.
  7. Use immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake well before each use.

Notes

Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for best brightness. Shake well before each use as the dressing naturally separates. To reduce garlic bite, roast garlic or soak minced garlic in lemon juice for 10 minutes before mixing. For vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar. Store in refrigerator up to one week.
