Gather all your ingredients. You’ll need extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, shallot, honey, and kosher salt. Having everything prepped makes the process smoother.
In a food processor, add the olive oil, lemon juice, shallot, and honey. The shallot adds a subtle depth to the dressing.
Pulse the mixture until emulsified. You want the ingredients to blend seamlessly, creating a creamy texture.
If you don’t have a food processor, no worries! You can use a small bowl or a mason jar. Just whisk or shake the ingredients until they are well combined.
Taste the vinaigrette. This is where you can adjust the flavors. If it’s too zesty, add a bit more olive oil to mellow it out.
Adjust the seasoning by adding more kosher salt or honey if you prefer a sweeter dressing. Don’t be afraid to make it your own!
Once you're satisfied with the flavor, transfer the vinaigrette to a storage container. An airtight jar works perfectly for keeping it fresh.
Refrigerate your Everyday Lemon Vinaigrette. It can last up to a week in the fridge. Just remember to give it a good shake before using, as the ingredients may separate.
Enjoy your vinaigrette over salads, grilled veggies, or as a marinade. The possibilities are endless!
