Ingredients

  • 6 fl. oz. freshly squeezed lemon juice about 4 big lemons
  • 6 TB raw honey
  • 1 TB whole grain mustard
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1 1/2 cups canola or grapeseed oil

Instructions

  • Combine lemon juice, honey, salt and pepper in a deep bowl or container. I like to use quart containers (Tall deli containers or large soup containers from takeout)
  • With an immersion blender (or regular blender), combine all ingredients for about 15 seconds and SLOWLY drizzle in olive oil, then canola oil.
  • The texture and color will begin to lighten as it emulsifies.
  • You will see oil on top and then suddenly, it will be a perfectly blended dressing that holds together instead of looking separated.
  • When dressing is nice and thick, add in whole grain mustard and give it one last blast with the immersion blender to combine everything & Voila! Dressing, Done!
