Instructions

Add lemon juice, mustard, garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper to a small bowl or jar.
Slowly whisk in the olive oil until fully emulsified—or just screw on the jar lid and shake it up.
Taste and adjust. Add more lemon for extra zing or a bit more mustard for creaminess.
Store in a glass jar in the fridge and shake before each use.

Notes

Swap herbs seasonally—dill in spring, basil in summer, thyme in fall. If serving with bold dishes like tacos or rice pilaf, try adding red pepper flakes or white wine vinegar.
