Summertime Lemon-Garlic Salad Dressing




  • 4 Garlic Cloves
  • 1 C Olive Oil
  • 1 (large) Lemon
  • 1/4 C (about, or one small handful) Fresh Basil 
  • 1/4 tsp Sea Salt


In a food processor, mince the garlic. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, and add the olive oil. Squeeze the lemon into the bowl. Add the basil and the salt, and process the dressing.

Serve immediately. I pour it into a jar to make serving easier, and I shake the jar as necessary because Lemon-Garlic Dressing does separate early, and often.

Refrigerate any leftovers (and they may need to be brought to room temperature before serving because the olive oil may solidify).

Lemon-Garlic Dressing is also a wonderful dressing for pasta salad.

Serves 8, or more, easily (just to give you an idea of the amount of dressing it makes).
