Lemon Garlic Salad Dressing


Ingredients

one to two cloves of garlic

one to two medium sized lemons

3/4 cup oil

salt and pepper to taste


Step 1:  Mince or press garlic and add it to a small bowl.  Juice the lemons, and add the juice to the bowl as well.  Depending on how strong you want the dressing, you can use just one or both of the lemons.  One will yield a mild dressing, while two will create a bolder, tangier flavor. 

Step 2:  Add oil, salt, and pepper to bowl and whisk until combined.  You can use any oil you like best.  I use organic canola oil, as it has a mild flavor and doesn't solidify when refrigerated.

Step 3:  Pour dressing into a glass jar or bottle.  Keep refrigerated, and shake well before use.  Enjoy!

I make this recipe weekly, and have never had to buy store bought dressing!  We usually eat it up within a week or two, and I've never had it go bad.  Not sure why it would, as long as it's kept in the fridge.  It's perfect for a green salad full of peppers, onions, and cucumber!
