Ingredients

5 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
¾ cup extra virgin olive oil
½ teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon basil finely chopped
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
3 teaspoons sugar

Instructions

Add all ingredients to a salad dressing shaker and shake!
If you don't have a salad dressing shaker, add lemon juice and Dijon mustard to a bowl and whisk until blended. Slowly add the extra virgin olive oil, whisking the entire time. After blended, add all remaining ingredients and blend.

Notes

I know the 1 part to 3 part ratio is a little off here, but I wanted this to have a little extra lemon flavor. The true 1:3 ratio would use 4 tablespoon of lemon juice.

Dressing should be kept refrigerated and will last for up to one week.
