Delicious!!! You'll definitely have to give this one a go. It goes beautifully drizzled over a salad. I made mine in the food processor and slowly poured in the oil at the end. However, you'll probably be better off making it in a bowl, as instructed, because in my case the honey sank to the bottom and didn't get thoroughly incorporated (maybe I just need a new food processor). Other than that, I followed the recipe to the letter and just in case you're wondering (like I was): 1 teaspoon lemon zest = almost an entire medium lemon; 4 tablespoons lemon juice = one whole medium lemon
