Build-A-Salad Dressing

Ingredients

• ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 Tbsp Apple Cider vinegar
• 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 small clove garlic, minced
• ½ tsp finely shredded lemon zest
• 1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

1. Whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl or put them in a jar and shake to blend.
2. Use immediately or store, covered and chilled, up to 1 week (olive oil will solidify in the refrigerator but will melt quite quickly at room temperature again).
