# What You’ll Need:
→ Base Ingredients
01 - 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 2 lemons)

# Directions:
01 - In a medium bowl or jar with lid, whisk together lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey (if using), garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.
02 - Slowly drizzle olive oil while whisking continuously, or add oil to jar, seal tightly, and shake vigorously until dressing is emulsified and creamy.

# Top Tips:
01 -
- It transforms even the most basic salad into something you'd actually crave at midnight
- The recipe doubles effortlessly and keeps beautifully, so you're always five minutes away from a decent meal
02 -
- The dressing will solidify slightly in the fridge but returns to perfect consistency at room temperature after a quick shake
- If it separates on you, just whisk it back together or give the jar another vigorous shake
03 -
- Room temperature ingredients emulsify better than cold ones straight from the fridge
- The dressing tastes even better the next day once the flavors have had time to hang out together
