Lemon Vinaigrette

By JP Carr
Course condiment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lemons (1 juiced, typically 3 tablespoons,
  • 1 sliced thinly including the rind and pith, seeds removed, then finely chopped
  • 1 whole garlic clove, minced or grated
  • Approximately ⅓ cup of olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • A drizzle of honey, just about a teaspoon or 2 Combine all ingredients in a small mixing bowl and whisk until thoroughly combined. Give it a taste. It should be bright with acidity and have a pleasant bitterness from the rind of the lemon and sweetness from the honey. You can also play with the ratios here. If you find it too acidic, add more oil. If you need more acidity, add more lemon juice or a splash of vinegar. Feel free to use spices, too, like a pinch of cumin. This recipe makes more than you’ll need but will keep in the fridge for a couple of weeks.
