Provided by Marianne Williams

Categories     Healthy Salad Dressing Recipes

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large head garlic
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
½ cup reduced-fat buttermilk
2 ½ teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 ½ teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons lemon juice
½ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Trim and discard top 1/2 inch from garlic head. Place the garlic, cut-side up, on a sheet of foil; drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil. Wrap tightly in the foil; roast until the cloves are completely softened and jammy, about 40 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes. Squeeze the garlic cloves onto a cutting board; discard garlic skins. Using the flat side of a chef's knife, mash the garlic into a paste.
  • Transfer the garlic paste to a lidded jar or medium bowl. Add buttermilk, mustard, honey, lemon zest, lemon juice, onion powder, salt and the remaining 3 tablespoons oil. Seal the jar and shake, or whisk vigorously in the bowl, until well combined. Shake or whisk before serving.

LEMON-GARLIC VINAIGRETTE



Lemon-Garlic Vinaigrette image

While a 1-to-2 acid-to-oil ratio is common for vinaigrette, shifting it to 1-to-1½ yields a dressing with a brighter flavor and fewer calories. That means for every ½ cup of acid, such as vinegar or lemon juice, use 3/4 cup of oil. Here's a good all-purpose take on the formula.

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 7

¾ cup extra-virgin olive oil
5 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 ½ tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 clove garlic, grated
¾ teaspoon salt
Ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Combine 3/4 cup oil, 5 tablespoons vinegar, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 1/2 tablespoons mustard, garlic, 3/4 teaspoon salt and pepper in a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Shake until well blended.

GRILLED CHICKEN WITH GARLIC-HERB DRESSING AND GRILLED LEMON



Grilled Chicken with Garlic-Herb Dressing and Grilled Lemon image

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 heads garlic, cut in 1/2 horizontally
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil
2 whole fresh thyme sprigs, plus leaves from 6 sprigs
2 lemons, juiced, plus 2 lemons, halved
About 1 bunch flat-leaf parsley, leaves chopped
1 (4 to 4 1/2-pound) chicken, cut into 10 pieces
2 heads radicchio, preferably Treviso, cut into quarters
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cut a piece of aluminium foil about 12 inches long.
  • Put the garlic on 1/2 of the foil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, drizzle in some olive oil, and add 2 sprigs of thyme. Fold the foil enclosing the garlic, making a pouch, and add a couple teaspoons of water. Fold the foil over the garlic to enclose and fold in the edges 2 or 3 times to seal. Put the package in the oven and roast for 30 minutes, or longer, until the garlic is soft. Open the package and let the garlic cool a bit, then squeeze out the cloves into a food processor or blender. Add 1/2 cup olive oil, the lemon juice, parsley, and thyme leaves and puree to make a thick vinaigrette.
  • Preheat an outdoor gas or charcoal grill to medium heat.
  • Rinse the chicken and pat dry with paper towels. Put the pieces in a bowl, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and drizzle with olive oil; toss to coat with the seasonings and then refrigerate while you get everything else together.
  • Put the radicchio in another bowl, drizzle with olive oil, balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss; set aside.
  • When you're ready to cook, take a few paper towels and fold them several times to make a thick square. Blot a small amount of oil on the paper towel and carefully and quickly wipe the hot grates of the grill to make a nonstick surface.
  • Season with salt and pepper and place the radicchio quarters on the preheated grill. Cook the radicchio for about 2 minutes per side until it has a nice char; pull it off the grill, place into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside to steam and finish cooking.
  • Then put the chicken on the grill, skin side down, and grill. Grill the chicken for about 20 minutes, turning once, then baste with about half of the vinaigrette and keep cooking until an instant-read thermometer stuck into the thickest part of the thigh reads 160 degrees F and the chicken is nice and caramelised all over, 15 to 20 more minutes. During the last few minutes, throw the lemon halves on the grill, cut sides down, and cook until just marked and smoky.
  • To serve, separate the radicchio into individual leaves in a big bowl. Add the chicken and the rest of the dressing and toss well. Serve with grilled lemon halves, squeeze the lemon over the chicken, and top with reserved dressing.

LEMON GARLIC SALAD DRESSING (WITH VARIATIONS)



Lemon Garlic Salad Dressing (With Variations) image

See how easy it is to whip up this simple lemon-garlic salad dressing and tailor it to your tastes-you'll soon ditch all those bottles.

Provided by Molly Watson

Categories     Salad     Dinner     Lunch     Side Dish     Ingredient     Sauce

Time 10m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 small clove garlic
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Optional: 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest (finely grated)
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt (plus more to taste)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground; plus more to taste)
1/4 teaspoon dry ground mustard
2 to 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil ​(or lemon-infused olive oil )
Salad greens

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Peel and mince the garlic (you can use a garlic press if you like; presses tend to bring out the bitterness in garlic, but some people don't seem to notice it).
  • If you're making a salad in the next few hours, put the garlic in a large salad bowl. (If you're making the dressing ahead of time, put the garlic in a sealable jar.)
  • Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, pepper, and mustard. Whisk to combine everything (or seal and shake the jar).
  • Whisk in the olive oil (or, again, seal the jar and shake it vigorously).
  • Taste and adjust salt and pepper to taste. If the dressing is too zingy for you, feel free to add more olive oil to soften the flavor. A bit more salt will help temper​ the acid kick, too.
  • Use the vinaigrette-style dressing immediately. If you've made the dressing in the salad bowl, just add the greens to that big bowl and toss.

Tips:

  • Use fresh herbs for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount called for in the recipe.
  • Lemon zest adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the dressing. Be sure to use a microplane or fine grater to get the zest off the lemon without getting any of the bitter white pith.
  • Garlic adds a savory, pungent flavor to the dressing. If you don't like garlic, you can omit it or use less than the amount called for in the recipe.
  • Olive oil is the traditional oil used in herb-lemon-garlic dressing, but you can use any type of oil that you like. Avocado oil, walnut oil, and grapeseed oil are all good options.
  • Honey adds a touch of sweetness to the dressing. If you don't like honey, you can use another type of sweetener, such as maple syrup or agave nectar.
  • Dijon mustard adds a bit of tang and creaminess to the dressing. If you don't have Dijon mustard, you can use another type of mustard, such as yellow mustard or brown mustard.
  • Salt and pepper are essential for seasoning the dressing. Be sure to taste the dressing before serving and adjust the seasonings to your liking.

Conclusion:

Herb-lemon-garlic dressing is a versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of salads, vegetables, and grilled meats. It's also a great marinade for chicken, fish, and tofu. The dressing is easy to make and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. So next time you're looking for a flavorful and healthy dressing, give herb-lemon-garlic dressing a try.
