- Ready In:
- 15mins
- Ingredients:
- 8
- Yields:
-
1 cup
ingredients
- 60 ml lemon juice, freshly squeezed (1/4 cup, or use lime juice)
- 10 -15 ml sugar (2 - 3 teaspoons, please start with 2 tsps and adjust later)
- 3⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon mustard, smooth, Dijon
- 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper, white
- 60 ml sour cream (1/4 cup, can use creme fraiche)
- 180 ml olive oil, virgin (3/4 cup)
directions
- Squeeze lemon or limes over a sieve into a medium mixing bowl.
- Whisk in the other ingredients (not the olive oil) until very smooth, and the sugar has just about dissolved.
- Whisk in the olive oil in a thin stream, almost as for mayonnaise. The dressing will thicken slightly -- it won't become thick, and it's not supposed to.
- Taste the dressing: you might want to add more lemon juice. Mine needed a squeeze more than stated above.
- Decant into a salad dressing container or bottle.
- Great over any type of salad.
