Delicious! - You’re Practically French! Salad Dressing

You’re Practically French! Salad Dressing


Juice of 1 lemon
1 fork full (approx 2 teaspoons) Dijon mustard
Salt to taste
Olive oil to double the volume of the lemon Dijon combination
One clove garlic (optional)


Add the lemon juice, salt, Dijon, and oil to the bottom of your salad bowl. Peel and smash one clove of garlic with the side of your knife (carefully!)
Beat together with your fork until it emulsifies. Add salad stuffs on top and toss when you are ready to eat.
Tip: if you are making a salad with fresh tomatoes add the tomatoes to the dressing in the bottom of the bowl, toss and let marinate a couple of minuets before adding the rest of the salad stuff.
