Step-by-Step Instructions for Lemon Dill Vinaigrette
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the minced shallot, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, and a pinch of kosher salt until well blended, about 30 seconds.
  2. Continue whisking vigorously for an additional 30 seconds, helping to incorporate the ingredients and increase volume.
  3. Gradually drizzle in the extra-virgin olive oil while continuously whisking for about 1-2 minutes, until the dressing thickens.
  4. Gently fold in the freshly chopped dill until evenly distributed.
  5. Taste your vinaigrette and adjust flavor by adding black pepper or more kosher salt.
  6. Transfer to a glass jar or airtight container. Refrigerate for up to five days. Shake or stir before using.
