Servings 8 servings
Ingredients
- ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- ¼ cup white wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
- Add: In a small bowl or pint-size mason jar, add all the ingredients in the order listed above.
- Whisk: Whisk until emulsified or shake the jar vigorously to thoroughly combine all the ingredients. Serve over salad or as marinade.
Notes
Recipe makes approximately 1-½ cups, enough for 2 generous-sized salads.
Storage: Leftover salad dressing should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. To prolong shelf life, add the minced garlic until just before serving to maintain freshness.
Without minced garlic, ladolemono can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Tips:
Time-saving tip - Use bottled concentrated lemon juice instead of fresh lemons.
Less clean up - Make this lemon olive oil salad dressing directly in a wide-mouth mason jar and use an immersion blender for proper emulsifying.
Serve at room temperature - For the flavors to fully develop and meld together, serve this lemon and olive oil dressing at room temperature. Pull it out of the fridge 30 minutes before serving.
Shake before using - Even after thorough emulsification; the ingredients may separate and settle with storage. Give the dressing a good shake before serving to ensure the ingredients are re-distributed.
Meal prep suggestion: Double the salad dressing but don't add the garlic until just before serving. Freshly minced garlic will produce an off-taste if stored for long period of time.
