In a medium bowl or large glass jar, add ½ cup of light olive oil, ¼ cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice, ⅓ cup of honey, 2 cloves of minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon of ground mustard. Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon each of dried basil, thyme, and oregano. Season with ½ teaspoon of kosher salt, ¼ teaspoon of ground black pepper, and ½ teaspoon of red pepper flakes.

Using a whisk, blend the ingredients vigorously for about 30 seconds until the dressing is fully emulsified and slightly thickened.

Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning by adding more red pepper flakes for spice or salt for balance.

Pour the dressing into a sealed jar or container and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

When ready to serve, shake or stir the dressing and drizzle it over salads, roasted vegetables, or use as a dipping sauce.
