instructions
    1

    Begin by squeezing fresh lemons to obtain 3 tablespoons of lemon juice. This will serve as the base for your vinaigrette.

    2

    In a medium bowl, combine the lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of honey, 1 teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of black pepper. Whisk them together until well mixed.

    3

    Slowly drizzle in 1 cup of olive oil while continuously whisking the mixture. This will help to emulsify the vinaigrette, giving it a smooth texture.

    4

    Taste the vinaigrette and adjust the seasoning if needed. You may add more salt, honey, or lemon juice according to your preference.

    5

    Once finished, transfer the vinaigrette to a jar or bottle for storage if you are not using it immediately.
