Peel and finely mince the garlic clove or use a garlic press for a smoother texture.
In a small mixing bowl or jar, combine the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Whisk the ingredients together briskly until the dressing is fully emulsified and has a smooth consistency. Alternatively, if using a jar, screw on the lid tightly and shake vigorously for about 20-30 seconds.
Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or honey if needed to suit your preferences.
Drizzle the dressing over freshly washed and chopped lettuce or mixed greens. Toss gently to evenly coat the salad leaves.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
