Prep 5 minutes Cook 0 minutes Total 5 minutes Serves 4

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon poppy seeds
• 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 pinch black pepper

How to make it

1. Combine the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl or a glass jar.
2. Whisk the ingredients together vigorously until the dressing is smooth and well combined. If you are using a jar, simply screw the lid on tightly and shake it well.
3. Stir in the poppy seeds last so they stay evenly distributed throughout the dressing.
4. Taste your dressing and add a little more honey if you prefer it sweeter, or a pinch more salt to balance the acidity.
5. Serve immediately over your favorite mixed greens or store it for later use.
