Instructions:

Depending on the size of the lemons you have handy, you'll either need 1 jumbo lemon or 2 regular lemons to yield 1/4 cup of lemon juice for this dressing. Before juicing your lemons, zest 1 lemon into a small bowl and set aside.

Add dressing ingredients to a small mason jar and tightly cap with the lid. Shake well

Juice your lemons and add to a small/medium mason jar. Start by adding 1/4 tsp of zest and half your minced garlic, as you can add extra after taste-testing.

Next add remaining dressing ingredients and close lid tightly. Shake to emulsify the dressing

Give it a taste and, if desired, feel free to add remaining clove of garlic (I always go with the full amount) and any additional lemon zest or seasoning you may like. Since the dressing is on the tart side (whoo! lemons!) you may sweeten the dressing with sugar/honey/agave/etc... if preferred.

Leftover dressing can be stored in the fridge for several days, making it a great make-ahead option for the week!
