Bright and Creamy Lemon Dijon Dressing

Makes around 1/2 cup dressing

2 tbs olive oil

the juice of 1 lemon (plus the zest of 1/2 the lemon)

3 tsp dijon mustard

a pinch of salt

1/2-1 tsp chilli flakes

Method:

  • Place all the ingredients into a small, clean glass jar.
  • You can either pop the lid tightly on and give the whole thing a great big shake or mix with a small whisk until combined and deliciously creamy.
  • Now have a little taste – add more seasoning here if you think it needs it.
  • Best to leave the dressing to sit for at least 15 minutes.  This allow the flavours to develop and blend, giving you a super tasty dressing.
