Simple Lemon Honey Dressing
Homemade lemon honey dressing that takes just 5 minutes and requires only 5 pantry staples you probably have on hand. It's fresh, bright and one of those recipes you'll be making on repeat. I love this with fresh summer salads, drizzled over grilled veggies, or as a marinade.

Notes
- One large lemon is typically enough for the lemon juice and lemon zest. If your lemon is small, you may need 2 lemons for this recipe.
- The dressing may separate, or even solidify when stored in the fridge (due to the olive oil). This does not mean it's bad! Let it sit at room temp for about 5 minutes, or quickly run under warm water and then give it a good shake to re-incorporate ingredients.
