  1. This looks so good and refreshing! During summer we are all about fresh salads because it is so hot in South Florida. This salad dressing is perfect and not heavy! Can’t wait to try

  2. 5 stars
    Wow! This salad dressing recipe looks absolutely delicious. Perfect match for any salad we want to do especially the veggies type of salad.

  3. 5 stars
    This dressing is so healthy and it really spices up simple salads like lettuce and cucumber. This is definitely a make again recipe for me.

  4. I haven’t made my own dressing in a long time but this reminds me I should try again! This recipe sounds delish!

  5. 5 stars
    This sounds so much more exciting and tastier than a basic oil and vinegar dressing. I love the addition of the garlic. That would be perfect for my salad tomorrow.

  6. We don’t buy salad dressing anymore. Most times I just add a little apple cider vinegar but this sounds yum and my husband loves adding lemon to his salads.

  7. I love a good salad dressing, but never use it enough to buy some. And this is so easy to make, I’d probably add loads more garlic haha x

  8. 5 stars
    Adding in garlic and lemon zest is a really good idea. It really does give the salad dressing that extra flavour kick. This is one of my favourite dressings.

  9. 5 stars
    Nothing tops a simple salad dressing like this when you need one in a pinch. I think homemade is better and healthier too so I always try to make my own.
