Categories     Salad

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 Lemon (substitute with bottled lemon juice if you don't have fresh lemons)
2 cloves garlic (use 1 clove if you want a milder garlic flavor)
2 tablespoon Olive oil (you can experiment with different oils)
½ teaspoon Salt (to taste)
¼ teaspoon Pepper (freshly ground, to taste)

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Squeeze the lemon to extract the juice. Collect about 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. This gives you a 2:1 ratio of oil to acid. If you like your salad dressings more acidic, squeeze 2 tablespoons of lemon juice from the lemon for a 1:1 ratio of oil to acid. Add the lemon juice to your glass jar.
  • Peel your garlic cloves. Squeeze the cloves of garlic through the garlic press. Add the garlic pulp to the lemon juice.
  • Add salt and pepper to your lemon juice and garlic mixture. Add enough salt and pepper to taste. You can add more later if it's underseasoned.
  • Add the olive oil to your salad dressing.
  • Lock the glass container's lid in place. Shake the container to mix the salad dressing until the ingredients are evenly combined. The garlic salad dressing is ready to serve.
  • Enjoy your salad and veggies with the garlic salad dressing.
