Equipment

  • Citrus Juicer This hand-held citrus juicer is fantastic for fresh lemon & lime juice!

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice fresh squeezed (just of 2 medium lemons)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic about 3 cloves
  • 1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons fresh dill minced

Instructions
 

  • To a medium bowl or liquid measuring cup, add the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, lemon pepper seasoning and dill (if using).
  • Whisk together well. Pour dressing over large salad and toss together to coat.
  • For an individual salad, add 2 tablespoons of the dressing (a single serving), and toss to coat.
  • Store any leftovers in a mason jar or this OXO dressing container and refrigerate. Will keep for up to 2 weeks, refrigerated.

Notes

If making a salad in advance, store the dressing in a separate container until ready to serve the salad. Dress the salad just before serving to ensure the salad stays crisp and fresh.
