Bright lemon juice and zest meet good extra-virgin olive oil in this simple whisked dressing, with a touch of Dijon and honey for balance and a bit of grated garlic to give it depth. Whisking the oil in slowly builds a silky, emulsified texture that clings beautifully to greens, roasted vegetables, or grilled fish without any heavy or overpowering flavors. Salt and black pepper round it out into a dressing that tastes fresh and vibrant rather than sharp or one-note. Every ingredient here — the good olive oil, the citrus, the garlic — is exactly the kind of simple, plant-forward pantry staple this way of eating is built around, making it an easy everyday staple to keep on hand. It comes together in minutes and keeps well in the fridge, so you can dress a salad or a plate of vegetables any night of the week.

Combine the lemon juice, lemon zest, Dijon mustard, honey, garlic, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl and whisk together until the salt dissolves.
While whisking constantly, drizzle in the olive oil in a slow, steady stream until the dressing is emulsified and slightly thickened, with no visible separation.
