Inspired by a delicious dressing at one of my favorite lunch spots in Westport, CT, I set out to make my own version of lemon garlic dressing. I love this dressing because it transforms a simple meal into something with bold character.

Lemon Garlic Dressing Recipe

This recipe is simple and easy to make. I make a mason jar full of it and keep it in the fridge so I can easily add it to whatever I’m cooking, be it salads, sandwiches, grilled or roasted vegetables, and even tofu or roasted chicken.

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 tablespoons Lemon Juice (about 3/4 of a lemon)
• 1/2 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 2-3 cloves of Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Stone Ground Mustard
• 1 teaspoon Sea Salt

Instructions

1. Prep your ingredients: juice the lemon, peel the garlic, and measure out the olive oil, salt, and mustard.
2. Combine all ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth.
