Favorite Lemony Salad Dressing

Time: 5-10 minutes

Inspired by: Lemon is one of my favorite flavors, and I think a lemon-based (versus vinegar-based) dressing is a much better pairing with wine. Since we drink wine with most dinners, this is our “almost daily” dressing.

Ingredients:

• Juice of two lemons (Meyer lemons recommended)
• Olive oil – approximately 1/2 of the quantity of lemon juice
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• A squirt of Dijon mustard – this Annie’s Horseradish mustard in the picture has been perfect
• A pinch of salt and pepper

Preparation:

• Mix the above ingredients and shake well. We combine the ingredients in a small bowl, funnel them into a bottle and shake well before using. This bottle was a gift from a very sweet family member and we love it.
• Between uses we keep in the refrigerator. If you take it out of the fridge 15-20 minutes before using, the hardened olive oil will soften. You can also put in the microwave if necessary for a few seconds to warm it.
