About

A light lemon dressing with or without garlic that we use for our Muslim Mediterranean recipes and Spanish recipes when the flavour of sherry vinegar is too distinctive and we want a change from red wine vinegar.

Method

Crush the garlic (if using) with a good pinch of salt in a mortar and pestle until a smooth paste is formed. Then add the lemon juice and whisk in the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. This can be made a few hours earlier, but give it a good whisk just before using.
