• 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
• 1/2 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1/2 cup Oleastro Olive Oil

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups flour, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.

3. Bake: Pour the filling into the pre-baked crust. Return to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.
4. Cool and Serve: Allow the pie to cool completely before serving. Optionally, garnish with whipped cream and additional lemon zest for an extra zesty flavor.
