RECIPE - Lemon Vinaigrette Oil Salad Dressing



This dressing add zing to salads and steamed vegetables. 
I like this dressing because its quite tangy, however still matches lots of different dishes. You can try it with honey, mustard, fresh herbs (Parsley is amazing) or some chili, just play around. I am pretty bad a measurements so tried to take an approximate guess of what I chucked in. I have to admit I am more of a splash and taste rather than strict recipe follower myself. 

I use Braggs Apple Cider vinegar and always have, it is fermented and still contains "The Mother",  Cider Vinegar is said to assist in digestion .
I was lucky enough to be given some La Barre Olive Oil from a friend, it has a beautiful delicate flavour with fruity tones. Whenever you are going to put olive oil on your food  make sure its good qualityA tip I was given was always choose olive oil from  a dark jar, as light can affect the flavour.
Lemon of course is a great source of vitamin C! 


Ingredients

  • 1 garlic clove, minced - optional 
  • ¼ cup raw apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • ⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • salt and pepper, to taste


Combine all of the ingredients in small jug and whisk with a fork, until all ingredients are well combined. Adjust flavor to taste, if necessary. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to a week, and shake well before serving each time.
