Ingredients
- 1 garlic clove
- ½ lemon juiced
- 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add lemon juice and Dijon mustard to small bowl and whisk well together.
- Slowly add extra virgin olive oil and whisk until it emulsifies.
- Finally, add grated garlic, salt and pepper to salad dressing and whisk until combined.
- Alternatively, you can place all ingredients in a jar and give it a good shake if you're short on time.
Notes
- You can use red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar if you don’t have lemon juice.
- Other ingredients you can add include chopped herbs like parsley, chives, and tarragon. Finely chopped shallots, capers, or anchovies can also add extra oomph.
- Leftover dressing can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Shake or whisk it before each use, as the ingredients may separate over time.
