The secret to great salad dressing is to crush the garlic into the salt. Salt will suspend the garlic flavor evenly throughout the mixture of oil and vinegar. This principle will serve you not only for dressings, but sauces as well.
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp virgin, cold-pressed olive oil
- 1 tbsp good wine vinegar or vinegar mixed with lemon juice
- 1/8 tsp salt, Redmond coarse salt preferred
- 1 small clove garlic, minced
Directions
- Step 1 Add salt to minced garlic and crush well with a fork
- Step 2 Add oil and vinegar and whisk well
- Step 3 Be sure lettuce leaves are dry so the dressing adheres to them.
