Lemon Vinaigrette & Couscous Salad

In a small bowl whisk together your lemon juice, mustard, honey, salt and pepper. If you’d like to add additional flavorings like garlic or minced shallot, feel free to do so now! Add a couple teaspoons of olive oil to the juice mixture and whisk thoroughly. Adding a small amount of olive oil first will ease the dressing into emulsification, which will help it to stay together. Repeat. After two small installments of oil, while whisking, slowly pour the rest of the oil into the mixture. Whisk a little more once all the oil is incorporated, just for good measure.

Toss dressing with your favorite greens or grains, or use as a marinade for fish or chicken! In this case toss it with your couscous, vegetables and herbs for a couscous salad.
