Notes
The balance of sweet and acid in this salad dressing is really important. Start with 1/3 cup lemon juice. If it doesn't taste enough like lemon to you add a little more, about a teaspoon at a time. If you go too far, add a tablespoon of honey to counter balance it.
See notes in the post for additional help.
