Meyer Lemon Vinaigrette

  • 1

Ingredients

  • 1 clove garlic, minced (1 scant teaspoon)
  • 3/4 teaspoon sea salt, plus extra for seasoning
  • 1/3 cup freshly squeezed Meyer lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon (2 to 3 sprigs) chopped fresh tarragon leaves
  • 1 teaspoon mild-flavored honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper, plus extra for seasoning
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup canola oil

Preparation

Step 1

1. In a small bowl, mash the garlic and salt with the tines of a fork until they form a paste. Whisk in the lemon juice, tarragon, honey and pepper until the honey dissolves. Then whisk in the oils, a few drops at a time, whisking well after each addition, until thoroughly combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

2. Use immediately or cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature and whisk just before serving.

This vinaigrette will be thinner than regular vinaigrettes; it should taste fruity and only slightly salty.
