How to Make Mediterranean Dressing

  1. Mince 2 cloves of garlic and let it sit for 5 minutes to release its flavor.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice.
  3. Slowly drizzle in 1 cup extra virgin olive oil while continuously whisking vigorously. The slower you add the oil and the faster you whisk, the creamier the dressing will become.
  4. Add the minced garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Whisk until well combined.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Consider adding 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar for extra depth of flavor.
  6. Transfer the dressing to an airtight glass jar and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Bring to room temperature before serving, as olive oil thickens when cold.
