Ingredients
- 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (can be substituted with white vinegar or apple cider vinegar)
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- ½ tsp sea salt flakes
- ¼ tsp cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to a small jar with a tight-fitting lid. Seal the jar and shake well until the dressing is emulsified (around 15 seconds) or place the ingredients in a medium bowl and whisk well to combine.
- Drizzle over your favourite salad (3–4 cups of salad) or store in the fridge for up to a week (see make ahead and leftover instructions below).
Notes
Make ahead
This dressing is perfect for meal prep. Make it up to 7 days in advance and store it in a sealed jar in the fridge. It’s great for work lunches, picnic salads, or just having on hand, ready to go when dinner needs a quick lift.
If it solidifies slightly in the fridge (thanks to the olive oil), don’t panic – just leave it out at room temperature for 10–15 minutes, then give it a good shake or stir and it’ll come back to life.
Leftovers
Store leftover dressing in a jar in the fridge for up to 1 week. If it separates or thickens slightly, just give it a good shake or whisk before using.
If your salad is already dressed, it’s best eaten fresh. Dressed leaves (especially softer ones like cos/romaine or spinach) can go soggy over time. If you’re planning to prep salad ahead of time, check the Make Ahead instructions above – storing the dressing separately is the way to go for maximum crunch and freshness.
