Harissa Lemon Dressing
A quick and flavorful sauce that adds spice and brightness to salads, roasted vegetables, and bowls.
Ingredients
For the dressing
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- 4 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice For the best bright flavor use fresh juice.
- 2 tablespoons harissa sauce (or 1½ tablespoons harissa powder) Start with less harissa if you prefer mild heat.
- 1½ tablespoons honey or maple syrup Use maple syrup for a vegan version.
- 1 small garlic clove, finely minced
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preparation
- Add all ingredients to a jar with a lid or to a mixing bowl.
- Shake vigorously or whisk for 15–20 seconds until smooth.
- Taste and adjust lemon, sweetness, or salt as needed.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate and shake before use.
Notes
Store the dressing in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 1 week. Shake or whisk before each use because the oil and lemon will separate.
