Salad Dressing:

Dr. Disha’s Lemon Garlic Vinaigrette :

Ingredients :1 teaspoon sea salt, 3 cloves garlic ,2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil.

Directions: The first option is the method I use: With a mortar and pestle ( u may use small blender as well), mash the salt and garlic until the garlic is emulsified. Transfer to a bowl, then add the lemon juice and olive oil and stir well. Taste to see if more salt, lemon juice needed. I love this as it’s so simple to make and really yum! You can put it on salads, sandwiches, chicken or fish. Make extra and refrigerate.
