Instructions

Add the ingredients to a food processor and pulse to emulsify. Alternatively, add the ingredients to a small bowl or mason jar whisking (or shaking) until the mixture is well combined and emulsified.

Taste the vinaigrette and adjust the seasoning as needed. You might want to add more salt, or even a bit more honey if you like it sweeter.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Emulsify for Creaminess 🤝
Whisk the honey and mustard together first, then slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking constantly to create a stable emulsion that clings beautifully to greens.
Mince Shallots Finely ✂️
Mince shallots into tiny pieces and let them sit in lemon juice for 5 minutes to mellow their bite while brightening their flavor through acid infusion.
Room Temperature Ingredients 🌡️
Use room temperature olive oil and ingredients to ensure proper emulsification and prevent the vinaigrette from breaking or separating quickly.
Fresh Lemon Juice Only 🍋
Always use freshly squeezed lemon juice rather than bottled—it has superior brightness and complexity that transforms the entire vinaigrette's character.
Make-Ahead Storage Trick 🏺
Store in a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid and shake vigorously before each use; it will keep for up to two weeks and actually improve as flavors meld together.
