Instructions
- Grab a small bowl or a jar with a lid. Trust me, containers are your friend.
- Combine 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Like, together, because that’s how ingredients work.
- Add 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard and 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup. You choose the sweetener – it’s like a tiny moment of responsibility.
- Stir in the minced garlic clove. Vampires beware.
- Add a generous pinch of salt and a few cranks of black pepper. Taste fervently – adjust as necessary.

- Garnishing options: Sprinkle some fresh herbs like parsley, dill, or even a bit of chopped mint for that extra zing.
- Cooking tips: Freshly squeezed lemon juice really makes a difference. If you need more dressing, just multiply the ingredients. But remember, it’s about balance – like life, and tightrope walking.
