Whisk mustard with fresh lemon juice, then slowly drizzle in olive oil while whisking. A useful starting point is three parts oil to one part lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. Adding the oil gradually helps the dressing come together.
Mustard lemon olive oil dressing works well with leafy greens, bitter leaves such as arugula, tomato salads, and simple cucumber salads. Its sharp, savory flavor also suits grain bowls, especially those with lentils or chickpeas.
Mustard lemon olive oil dressing keeps for a few days in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Because it contains fresh lemon juice, do not leave it at room temperature for extended periods. Shake it before serving, and discard it if its smell or appearance changes.
Mustard lemon olive oil dressing separates because lemon juice and oil do not stay mixed on their own. Separation is normal, not a sign that the dressing has gone bad; shake it in a jar or whisk it again just before serving.
Dijon mustard gives mustard lemon olive oil dressing a sharper, smoother flavor, while yellow mustard makes it milder and more familiar. Whole-grain mustard works too, but leaves the dressing with a more textured finish.
Yes, mustard lemon olive oil dressing can be used to marinate chicken or fish. Keep the marinating time short, especially for fish, because lemon juice changes the surface texture. Do not serve the uncooked marinade as a dressing afterward.
Yes, mustard lemon olive oil dressing is good on roasted vegetables such as carrots, cauliflower, and potatoes. Add it after roasting so the fresh lemon and mustard flavors remain bright, rather than exposing the dressing to prolonged high heat.
You can leave out the mustard, but the result will no longer have the same flavor or emulsifying help. Whisk the lemon juice and olive oil vigorously, or shake them in a jar, and expect the mixture to separate more quickly.
To make mustard lemon olive oil dressing less sour, add olive oil gradually until the lemon tastes balanced. A small amount of honey can soften the sharpness, too; add it sparingly so the dressing does not become sweet.
Mustard lemon olive oil dressing can taste bitter if the olive oil itself is strongly bitter or if pith from the lemon gets into the juice. Try a milder olive oil and squeeze the lemon without pressing the peel.

Mustard lemon olive oil dressing is a tangy, savoury mixture of olive oil, lemon juice and mustard, whisked together until emulsified. It is a simple vinaigrette-style dressing, often seasoned with salt and pepper and sometimes loosened with a little water.
Use it on leafy salads, roasted vegetables or grain bowls; it also works as a bright finish for grilled fish and vegetables. Olive oil makes it energy-dense and high in fat: it contains 44.5 g of fat per 100 g. Start with a small drizzle and add more to taste, or make a lighter version by increasing the lemon juice and reducing the oil.
