The OG Salad Dressing

If salad scares you, or you just hate it, this recipe is for you. This dressing is the gateway drug you need. It’s delicious and incredibly simple.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 clove garlic, peeled and smashed with the flat side of a knife

  • 1 (heaping) tsp dijon mustard—I like Maille Originale. Make sure your’s has no sugar.

  • Juice of 1/2 a lemon

  • 1/4 cup good vinegar—I use Alessi Fig or Pear-infused white balsamic vinegar. The vinegar makes this recipe in my opinion. I’ve strayed—Sprig & Vine Apricot or Peach white balsamic are excellent, flavorful, and local; anything Tart, and Acid League—but I keep coming back to the Alessi classics.

  • 1 cup good olive oil (meaning organic, extra virgin olive oil in a dark glass bottle. I use Bragg)

  • 1/2 tsp pink salt

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. In the Magic Bullet (or another easy blender), first add just the smashed garlic clove and give the blender a whirl to mince.

  2. Add the dijon, lemon juice, and vinegar. Blitz.

  3. Lastly, add in the olive oil and salt. Blitz, done.

  4. Store in the magic bullet container in the fridge and take out a bit before you want to use it. Re-blitz if desired. To quickly bring to room temp, run the container under hot water before the blitz.

Toss with greens, vegetables, honestly anything, and REPEAT.
