Category: Salad
Ingredients
3 T Fresh lemon juice
1 T Wine vinegar, sherry vinegar or cider vinegar
1 small garlic clove, minced or put through a press
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
To Taste sea salt
To Taste freshly ground pepper
1/2 tsp. dried marjoram
1/2 tsp. dried tarragon
1 T chopped fresh herbs, such as basil, dill, or thyme
1/3 cup canola oil
1/3 cup olive oil
Directions
Method One: Combine the lemon juice and vinegar in a small bowl or a 2 cup Pyrex measuring cup. Stir in the garlic and mustard with a fork or whisk. Add the salt, pepper, and herbs and blend well. Then whisk in both types of oil. Refrigerate if not using right away and stir well before tossing the salad.
Method Two: Do not stir the oil into the dressing. Toss your salad ingredients first with the lemon-vinegar-herb mixture, then with the oil.
