3. Wash the lemon, dry it with a paper towel, cut it in half and squeeze out the juice. Be careful not to get lemon seeds in the sauce.
4. Stir the food with a fork or small whisk until smooth. The mass should thicken a little, similar to how mayonnaise is prepared from vegetable oil. You can store ready-made French salad dressing for about 8 hours at room temperature or 2-3 days in the refrigerator.
