Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, sugar, and Dijon mustard. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Continue whisking until the vinaigrette is creamy and smooth, ensuring the sugar is fully dissolved. (3 minutes)

03

Step

Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to your liking. (1 minute)

04

Step

Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more lemon juice for extra tang or sugar for sweetness. (1 minute)

05

Step

Drizzle over your favorite salad or use as a finishing sauce for grilled dishes. Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

For a more intense lemon flavor, allow the vinaigrette to sit for at least 30 minutes before serving.
If you prefer a smoother vinaigrette, you can use a blender or immersion blender to emulsify the ingredients.
Experiment with adding fresh herbs such as dill, parsley, or thyme for added complexity.
To make it vegan, substitute the sugar with agave or maple syrup.

    I made a big batch of this vinaigrette and stored it in the fridge. It was still good after a few days.
