Notes
-
- Use a microplane for zesting: A fine zester or microplane works best to get just the bright yellow peel and avoid the bitter white pith.
- Adjust the flavor: Taste the dressing and add more honey for sweetness, extra Dijon for tang, or more lemon juice for brightness.
- Make ahead: The flavors deepen after a couple of hours in the fridge, so making it ahead of time is a great option.
- Makes: About ½ cup of dressing.
- As it sits: The dressing will naturally separate as it sits. Just whisk or shake before serving to bring it back together.
