Basic lemon vinaigrette

It’s so easy to make your own salad dressing with fresh citrus. Start with 30ml fresh

lemon or lime juice, 5ml honey, 5ml Dijon mustard and about 30ml soft herbs – dill and parsley are delicious but so are coriander and basil (use whatever you have in your herb garden). Blend everything together with a stick blender while gradually adding about 100ml quality olive oil.

This will form a thick, creamy emulsion. Season generously with Maldon sea salt

flakes and freshly ground black pepper.

Dilute with a little boiling water if you like, but don’t dilute the rich flavour. Taste and adapt to your liking. >>
