Try this simple, flavorful salad dressing and you may never buy bottled again. Lemon and garlic bring a lot of zing to plain lettuce, but feel free to add whatever veggies you like.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp. finely shredded lemon zest (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp.dry mustard

Preparation:

Whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl or put them in a jar and shake to blend. Use immediately or store, covered and chilled, up to 1 week (olive oil will solidify in the refrigerator but will melt quite quickly at room temperature again).

Makes Lemon Galic Salad Dressing for 1 large salad.
