Ingredients
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Juice of 2 limes (about 1/4 cup)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 small garlic clove, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 jalapeño, finely minced, optional
Instructions
- Add the olive oil, lime juice, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt, pepper and optional minced jalapeño to a small jar.
- Cover and shake for 20 to 30 seconds, until creamy and combined.
- Taste and adjust: more honey to sweeten, more lime to sharpen, more salt if it tastes flat.
- Use immediately, or store in the fridge for up to 1 week. Shake again before using.
Notes
- For fruit salad: Skip the Dijon, garlic and pepper. Use honey, lime juice, a little lime zest and a pinch of salt. Add mint or poppy seeds if you like.
- Spicy version: Add finely minced jalapeño or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- No honey: Substitute maple syrup or agave in the same amount.
- Creamy version: Whisk in a spoonful of Greek yogurt or mayo.
- Scaling: This makes enough for one large salad. Double or triple and keep a jar in the fridge for the week.
- Storage: The dressing firms up and separates when cold. Let it sit a few minutes, then shake.
