This sauce is so versatile and fresh, you will want to memorize it. It's 5 ingredients and comes together quickly in a blender. Serve with greens as a salad dressing or toss with pasta for a quick meal.
INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice from 1 1/2 large lemons or 4 small, depending on the juiciness
- 2 large cloves garlic smashed into a paste or roughly chopped
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil (olive oil can become bitter when blended, use avocado oil if you want to avoid bitterness)
DIRECTIONS
- Combine all the ingredients in a blender. Pulse on high for up to 1 minute until no garlic chunks remain and the dressing is very smooth and pale yellow. Use at room temperature or store in the fridge for up to 1 week.
Note: If you do not want to blend, you can whisk but you will have to smash the garlic into a paste for the very best texture.
