1/4 cup honey Use mild clover or wildflower honey for best flavor. For vegan option, swap for maple syrup.
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice Freshly squeezed brightens the dressing; bottled lemon juice works in a pinch.
1/4 cup olive oil Extra-virgin for fruitier notes, or lighter olive oil for a neutral base.
to taste salt Start with a pinch of flaky sea salt.
to taste black pepper Freshly ground adds flavor.

Measure honey and lemon juice into a small bowl. Whisk until fully dissolved.
Slowly add olive oil in a thin stream while whisking vigorously until fully incorporated and glossy.
Season with salt and pepper. Taste and adjust sweetness or acidity as needed.
Let the dressing sit for five minutes to allow flavors to meld before using or refrigerating.

Refrigerate in a sealed jar up to 1 week. Whisk or shake before using as it may thicken. Not recommended for freezing as emulsion may separate.
