My Favorite 3-Ingredient Salad Dressing Is So Easy, Even My 5-Ye

Step 1

Use a fork to whisk the lemon juice and Dijon mustard together in a small bowl. Then, slowly drizzle in 1/4 cup olive oil while whisking until the dressing looks nice and creamy. Season the dressing with salt and black pepper to taste—start with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, and add more if needed. If your dressing is too puckery, you may need to whisk in a little more olive olive. Not bright enough? Add a few more drops of lemon juice.

Step 2

Gently crush the garlic by putting your weight on it with the palm of your hands, remove the peel, and add the clove to the dressing. You don’t have to use garlic, but it does truly take it to the next level and it won’t leave behind raw garlic flavor in your mouth. Promise. Right before serving, remove the garlic. (Don’t toss it! Keep it in a small container in the fridge for cooking.)

Step 3

My kids like their dressing on the sweet side. Add a teaspoon of honey, agave, maple syrup, or sugar.

Step 4

Add 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning, dried thyme, or dried oregano, for a herby dressing. You can also use fresh herbs.

Step 5

Add 1/4 cup full-fat buttermilk and 2 tablespoons finely chopped dill (or 1 teaspoon dried dill).
