A light, fresh dressing

To commemorate my cousin's new healthy baby girl and my newly engaged self, my family got together for a celebratory lunch.  The menu consisted of asparagus quiche, fresh strawberries and cantaloupe and my grandfather's own lettuce from his garden.  These pairings would not have been complete if it wasn't for the salad dressing.

The dressing is tart from the lemon juice, but savory from the garlic paste. This dressing can even be paired for a sauce on a freshly grilled filet of salmon (or your choice of fish)!

 I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my family did on this day!

 Lemon Garlic Dressing:

 Ingredients:

 1 garlic clove
 1 teaspoon of salt
 4 tablespoons of lemon juice (or one full lemon)
 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar (or white wine vinegar if you don't have the red wine vinegar)
 Pepper to taste
 3/4 cup of olive oil

Steps:
 Mince the garlic and make a paste with the salt. It is easier to form into a paste with a splash of olive oil along with the salt.
 Whisk the paste, lemon juice, vinegar and pepper together. (until combined)
 Add the olive oil and whisk until the dressing is fully combined.

Last step: Pour onto a salad or on a filet of fish!

ENJOY!!
