Ingredients
  

Vinaigrette Base
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice Use fresh lemons for the best flavor.

  • 1 pinch pepper Adjust to taste.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, whisk together the fresh lemon juice and Dijon mustard until combined.
  2. Slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil while whisking vigorously to create a stable emulsion.
  3. Alternatively, add all ingredients to a mason jar, screw on the lid tightly, and shake vigorously.
  4. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

Store the vinaigrette in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week. Shake well before each use as it may separate over time. If it thickens, add a teaspoon of water to loosen it up.
