I was looking for an easy, lemony dressing and found this one. It was very light and full of lemon flavor. Mix and taste before adding the sugar. The lemon I used must have been very sweet because I didn’t need the sugar at all. I doubled and had enough for probably 6-8 individual salads.
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, or to taste
3 to 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Recipe
You can mix this like a classically made vinaigrette (mix everything but the oil and whisk it while pouring it in in a stream) or you can do what I do – put everything in a jar and shake like hell. See my note re: sugar.
