This extremely quick and easy salad dressing will put an end to any processed store-bought bottles! Makes salads personalized, delectable and enticing... With minimal time and ingredients needed, one would only wonder "why didn't I do this before?!"
Ingredients:
- Coconut (or) avocado oil - 0.25 cup
- Lemon juice - 0.5 cup
- Lemon zest - 1 tsp
- Red chili flakes - 1 tsp
- Black pepper powder - 0.5 tsp
- Salt
- Finely chopped thyme (or) oregano (or) rosemary (or) pineapple mint (or) pineapple sage (or) lemon balm (or) dill - 2 tsp
Method:
- In a small bottle, pour the oil (If coconut oil is solid, warm it just enough to liquify)
- Add the lemon juice, zest, red chili flakes, black pepper powder and salt
- Destalk the leaves of the flavoring chosen from their stalks
- Chop finely as needed
- Add these leaves into the bottle
- Cover the lid tightly
- Shake well till everything gets incorporated and the oil/lemon juice emulsify
- Set aside for a couple minutes and pour it over any prefered salad as needed
Tips and Tricks:
- Lemon zest adds to the tartness, fragrance and color to the dressing
- Be sure to pick only one of the flavorings and chop them (if needed) into fine pieces so they incorporate well into the dressing
- Shaking well till the liquids emulsify is key to a good dressing
- It can store at least for a week in the fridge. But the fats may solidify, especially if using coconut oil. Thaw the dressing for some time and shake it again to restore consistency
