Jamie Oliver Lemon and Honey Dressing is a light vinaigrette made by whisking together fresh lemon juice, honey, extra virgin olive oil, and simple seasonings. The result is a smooth, well-balanced dressing that combines the freshness of citrus with the natural sweetness of honey.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Dressing

    • 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

    • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

    • 1 tablespoon honey

    • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

    • Salt, to taste

    • Freshly ground black pepper

Optional Ingredients

    • 1 garlic clove, finely grated

    • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

    • Fresh parsley

    • Fresh dill

    • Fresh chives

    • Chili flakes

    • Apple cider vinegar

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Lemon

Wash the lemon thoroughly. Finely grate the zest if using, then squeeze out the fresh lemon juice, removing any seeds.

Step 2: Combine the Ingredients

In a small bowl or a lidded jar, add the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3: Whisk or Shake

Whisk the ingredients together until smooth and fully emulsified. If using a jar, secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously for about 30 seconds.

Step 4: Taste the Dressing

Taste and adjust the balance. Add more honey if you’d like it sweeter, or a little extra lemon juice for more brightness.

Step 5: Add Optional Ingredients

If using garlic, herbs, lemon zest, or chili flakes, stir them into the dressing after it has been emulsified.

Step 6: Let the Flavours Develop

Allow the dressing to sit for about 10 minutes before serving. This gives the ingredients time to blend.

Step 7: Drizzle and Serve

Use immediately over fresh salads, roasted vegetables, grilled meats, or grain bowls.
