Lemon dressing with thyme, honey, and mustard is a quick dressing for vegetable salads that you can mix in a bowl in just a few minutes. Equal parts lemon juice and oil form the base. Dijon mustard and honey add body and gentle sweetness, while crushed garlic and dried thyme add aroma. If you like a little heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Peel the garlic and press or grate it. In a bowl, combine the lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, and garlic.
Season the dressing with salt and pepper to taste, then add the thyme and, if desired, red pepper flakes. Mix thoroughly.

Tip: Whisk the lemon juice with the mustard and honey first, then gradually pour in the oil while whisking constantly—the mustard helps emulsify the dressing. Always stir before using.
