The Ultimate Lemon Garlic Salad Dressing: Simple, Refreshing, and Absolutely Heavenly

The Ultimate Lemon Garlic Salad Dressing: Fresh, Simple, and Bursting with Flavor

There’s something so satisfying about making my own salad dressings. Store-bought dressings just don’t compare—too many fillers, too much sugar, and never that fresh, bright taste that makes a salad feel exciting. I love using super simple ingredients, letting every fresh, vibrant flavor shine through. And this lemon garlic dressing? It’s a game-changer.

It’s tangy, garlicky, and just the right amount of creamy without being heavy. It makes everything—from crisp greens to roasted veggies—taste like heaven. Plus, it takes just minutes to whip up.

What You’ll Need:

• 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 large lemons)

• 5 cloves garlic, finely minced or grated

• 1/2 cup avocado oil

• lemon zest

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• ½ teaspoon sea salt

• ¼ teaspoon black pepper

• 1/2 teaspon turmeric for a gold color and delicious flavor

How to Make It:

1. Whisk together the lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper.

2. Slowly drizzle in the avocado oil while whisking until the dressing emulsifies.

3. Taste and adjust—maybe a little more lemon for extra brightness, or a touch of maple syrup if you like it slightly sweeter.

4. Pour over your favorite salad, roasted vegetables, or even use it as a marinade for tofu salad!

Why I Love This Dressing:

• It’s so fresh—the lemon and garlic bring everything to life.

• It’s versatile—works for salads, bowls, and even grain dishes.

• It’s clean and simple—no weird preservatives, just real ingredients.
