How to Make Lemon Balm Marinade And Salad Dressing

  1. Combine all ingredients in a blender.
  2. Blend on low speed until smooth.
  3. With the blender running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until you reach your desired consistency (thicker for a marinade, thinner for a dressing).
  4. Taste and adjust seasonings (salt, pepper, lemon juice) to your preference.
  5. For best results, let the marinade/dressing sit for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. This step is optional but highly recommended!
