Yield Makes 1/2 cup

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons plus 1 1/2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Combine mustard, lemon zest, and juice in a jar; season with salt and pepper. Add some of the oil, then cover and shake to combine. Continue adding more oil and shaking until all the oil is incorporated and mixture is thickened and uniform in color. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, crisp vegetables: The fresher the vegetables, the better your salad will taste. Look for vegetables that are brightly colored and free of blemishes.
  • Wash your vegetables thoroughly: This will remove any dirt or bacteria that may be present.
  • Cut your vegetables into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overdress your salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing will overwhelm the flavor of the vegetables.
  • Serve your salad immediately: Salad is best when it's fresh. Don't let it sit around for too long, or the vegetables will start to wilt.
