Note

This dressing is best served chilled. It will thicken slightly when cold.

For a smoother texture, you can blend the ingredients in a blender or food processor instead of whisking by hand.

Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Shake well before each use as the oil may separate.

Feel free to adjust the salt and lemon juice to taste. If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
