Mediterranean Dressing
  1. Press garlic and let it sit for 5 minutes.
  2. Whisk together the lemon juice, garlic, sea salt, and pepper.
  3. Slowly pour the extra virgin olive oil into the mixture while whisking constantly. The more slowly you pour and the faster you whisk, the thicker and creamier the dressing will be.

    The dressing will store in the refrigerator for up to 10 days. It will solidify so you will need to bring it back to room temperature before using.
