This bright and zesty Mediterranean Lemon Vinaigrette is made with fresh lemons (zest and juice!) and a handful of pantry ingredients so you can mix it up any time you want to add fresh flavour to salads, vegetables and grilled proteins.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lemon
  • 1 Tbsp honey
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Begin by finely zesting the lemon and adding the zest to a small jar with a tight-fitting lid. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze out the juice (you should have about 3 Tbsp). Add the lemon juice, honey, olive oil, salt, and a few turns of freshly ground black pepper to the jar with the zest. Stir gently to help dissolve the honey, then secure the lid and shake vigorously until the vinaigrette is emulsified and silky. Taste, and add more salt and pepper if needed. Use immediately, or store in the jar in the fridge for up 5 days. Shake again before using.
