Whole Lemon Vinaigrette

Ingredients

1 medium lemon, scrubbed

3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

1/4 cup mixed fresh tender herbs (such as chives, dill, and basil)

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 small garlic clove, smashed

2 teaspoons kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Cut off and discard ends of lemon. Cut lemon into quarters; remove and discard seeds. Transfer lemon to a food processor or blender, and process until finely chopped, about 1 minute. Add oil, herbs, vinegar, mustard, and garlic; process until mostly smooth and well combined, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer vinaigrette to a small bowl, and whisk in salt and pepper.
