- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare Early: To enhance the flavors, prepare the dressing as early as possible and let it sit in the refrigerator to allow the ingredients to meld together.
- Mix Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, freshly squeezed lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dressing until you are ready to serve. This chills the dressing and helps the flavors develop fully.

- Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor; bottled lemon juice may alter the taste.
- This dressing is perfect for keto-friendly salads, roasted vegetables, or as a dip.
