Fortifying Lemon & Garlic Dressing

Fortifying Lemon & Garlic Dressing is led by lemon and fresh garlic rather than a large volume of oil. The result is bright, direct, and strongly savory.

Flaxseed or hemp oil gives the dressing enough body to coat vegetables, while optional fresh or dried herbs can add another aromatic layer without changing the basic formula.

For a stronger garlic flavor, the source recommends a short rest in the refrigerator. Ten minutes is enough to let the garlic move more fully into the dressing.

Ingredients

• 4–6 tablespoons lemon juice
• 4 tablespoons flaxseed oil or hemp oil
• 1–2 teaspoons garlic, minced
• Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon fresh herbs or 1/2 teaspoon dried herbs, optional

Method

Combine all ingredients in a jar and shake well until blended. Use immediately for a lighter garlic flavor, or refrigerate for at least 10 minutes before serving if you want the garlic to become more pronounced. Makes about 1/2 cup.
