Lemon Garlic Dressing

I love this simple and easy to make dressing. It has a strong fragrance and bold flavor. Consistency is quite thick, especially after you keep it in the fridge. So while it doesn't yield a lot, you really need only a tiny amount of the dressing and toss the salad good with it - i.e. a teaspoon for a plate of salad. Other than for salad, try it as dipping sauce for roast chicken or pork.
