Notes

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, use fresh lemon juice instead of bottled lemon juice. Freshly grated garlic also adds a more vibrant taste.
  • Adjust to Taste: Feel free to adjust the amount of lemon juice or garlic according to your preference. If you like it tangier, add more lemon juice.
  • Let it Rest: Allow the dressing to sit for at least 30 minutes before serving. This helps the flavors meld together and become more pronounced.
  • Store Properly: Keep leftover dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should last for about a week.
