"Since first seeing this recipe in the magazine, I have used it several times! It always turns out wonderfully. I normally add extra garlic and sometimes decrease the amount of OJ used by 1T to make it less sweet. Very easy to whip up! "

Preparation

  1. Peel garlic clove and smash with the side of a chef’s knife. Using a fork, mash the garlic with salt in a small bowl to form a coarse paste. Whisk in oil. Add juice, vinegar and mustard; whisk until well blended. Taste and whisk in up to 4 tablespoons more juice to mellow the flavor; season with more salt, if desired.

Tips & Notes

  • Make Ahead Tip: Cover and refrigerate for up to 5 days. The oil will solidify, so bring to room temperature and whisk before using.
