Tangy, zesty, garlicky lemon and olive oil flavors blend in this dressing that compliments salads which include some type of grilled meat and baked or fried pita chips in the place of croutons. This dressing is best with salads containing grilled chicken, shrimp or fish. It is very tangy but absolutely yummy.

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.
