Perfect Lemon-Garlic Dressing

Cinnamon Turtle's Note:

This is a well-balanced, flavorful dressing. It's delicious on most any kind of salad - leafy greens, chopped vegetable, pasta or grain - anywhere you need a fresh flavor punch. The raw garlic flavor increases upon standing, so adjust downward if making in advance.

This is absolutely fabulous! I love lemon, and I love this dressing. I have made it three days in a row, which is a testament in itself. I use the juice from one lemon, add the zest, and followed the directions precisely. I think the hint of Dijon really adds a nice dimension. Thanks for sharing this excellent recipe.
