There is no need to buy store-bought dressings when you can make your own with this tangy and deliciously balanced Lemon Parmesan Dressing. This Mediterranean salad dressing is one of my favorites, is super easy to make, and is better than anything you can get in a bottle. It will last up to a week in the refrigerator. Besides a salad dressing, this can also be used to top fish before baking.

I have made this recipe several times now, and each time it seems to get better and better. Yum!
I actually make a dressing of 1/2,c lemon juice, 2 cloves crushed garlic, 1/8 tap. Lawry’s garlic salt, and 1/4 cup EVOO. It’s quite sour, but with an ounce of feta cheese sprinkled on my salad and a couple of Tbsp. Of this dressing, it’s delicious. The feta mellows the tartness of the lemon.
That sounds delicious! -Bill
I made this dressing as part of a meal I delivered to some friends. They loved it, and so do I! It is now standard at our house for Mediterranean salads. .
