This is from memory, so forgive the weird measurements.

3 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice (and a little of the zest)
1 big Tbsp. Dijon
1 big spoonful of minced garlic
A good squeeze of honey (maybe 3/4 tsp.?)
1/3 - 1/2 cup olive oil
A pinch of kosher salt and fresh ground pepper

Shake it all up and store in the fridge. Let stand at room temp a bit before serving and shake well again....Show more
