Simple Lemon Dressing

This all-purpose dressing brightens whatever it touches, like Snap Pea Salad or Greek salad. It proves that three simple ingredients can become something extra-special when they're combined in just the right proportions.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    2/3 cup

Ingredients

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon Maldon or another flaky sea salt

Preparation

  1. Combine the ingredients in a container with a tight-fitting lid and shake well until the mixture looks creamy. Taste and add a little more oil, lemon, or salt, if you'd like. Set it aside until you're ready to use it and shake again just before you do.
