Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lemon, scrubbed
1 small clove garlic, finely grated
2 anchovy fillets, finely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

1/2 cup mild, buttery olives, such as Castelvetrano or Cerignola, pitted and sliced

Steps:

  • Using a vegetable peeler, peel lemon zest in long strips. With a very sharp knife, slice strips into a fine julienne. Squeeze 1 tablespoon juice.
