Ingredients

  • ¼ Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • ¼ Cup Lemon Juice 2-3 lemons
  • ¼ Cup Fresh Chives finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoon Whole Grain Mustard
  • 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Salt or to taste

Notes

 
  • You can substitute for any fresh or dried herbs to taste. 
  • Storage: Store this dressing in an airtight container and the refrigerator for about a week. The dressing may separate and oil may harden in the refrigerator, but this is totally normal. Before using, let the dressing come to room temperature for a few minutes and shake it again before serving to reincorporate all the ingredients.
