1. Whisk Ingredients Together
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together olive oil, fresh lemon juice, finely minced garlic, oregano, thyme, basil, and salt. Make sure to whisk vigorously until the mixture appears well-blended with no separation. This thorough whisking is key to ensuring that the flavors are evenly distributed throughout the dressing.
2. Transfer to Airtight Container
Once the dressing is well-combined, transfer it to an airtight container. This will help to maintain its freshness and flavor. Refrigerate the dressing until you are ready to use it. The cool environment of the refrigerator will allow the flavors to meld beautifully, enhancing the overall taste.
3. Shake and Serve
When you are ready to enjoy your Sunny Mediterranean Herb & Lemon Dressing, give it a good shake to re-emulsify any ingredients that may have settled. Drizzle it generously over your favorite salad or use it as a marinade for chicken or fish. Enjoy the bright, zesty flavors that bring a touch of the Mediterranean to your table!
Ensure you're using the freshest herbs and juiciest, firm lemons for the best flavor.
Add lemon zest to your dressing to infuse it with bright, citrusy essential oils.
Whisk vigorously while adding oil or use a blender to achieve a smooth, unified dressing.
Use high-quality salt and freshly cracked black pepper to enhance the flavors of your dressing.
Aim for a 3:1 ratio of oil to acid but adjust according to your taste for a perfect balance.
