Here’s a quick kitchen pick-me-up, and a staple every woman needs to have in her back pocket. So simple to make, but impressive to taste! It’s a dressing so creamy and tangy, you’d think you brought it home from a fancy Italian restaurant. Trust me, I am NOT a fan of watery, oily, tasteless dressing. I wouldn’t do that to you! I like creamy and zesty… and this dressing will have you whipping it up every night instead of going for the  salad “you’re just craving” from (insert your go to restaurant here.)

 

Here we go! …And FRESH ingredients make all the difference!

In no particular order…

MIX

-the juice of one lemon (strain seeds out)

-1 tablespoon of classic dijon mustard (makes it creamy)

-2-3 tablespoons of olive oil (depending on how oily you want it)

-one smashed and finely minced clove of fresh garlic

-fresh cracked sea salt and black pepper to taste

Whisk with a fork until blended completely. Drizzle over clean, COLD, freshly chopped romaine lettuce.

If you are not on a complete caveman diet, feel free to doctor this bad boy up with grated parmesan cheese, croutons, or capers if you’re daring. But honestly, it’s delicious just how it is!

 

Enjoy!
