This lime vinaigrette is so easy to put together: it takes just 5 ingredients and 5 minutes! Its zingy flavor is perfect for salads of any kind.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lime: 1 tablespoon lime zest and 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more if needed
  • 1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup olive oil

Instructions

  1. Zest the lime. Sprinkle it with the kosher salt, then mince it as fine as possible. Holding the blunt edge of the knife, scrape the sharp edge of the blade over the minced lime zest, holding the knife at an angle and mashing the zest into a paste. This should only take a minute or so: don’t spend too long on it!
  2. Place the zest in a medium bowl and it whisk together with the Dijon mustard, lime juice, and maple syrup. Gradually whisk in the olive oil 1 tablespoon at a time (8 tablespoons total), until creamy and emulsified.
  3. Taste and if desired, season with additional salt (if the dressing tastes too tart, add a pinch of sugar or a bit of honey). Store refrigerated for up to 2 weeks; bring to room temperature before serving.
