Instructions
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, sour cream, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. If you prefer a more hands-off approach, simply add all ingredients to a jar with a lid and shake until well combined.
-
Once mixed, drizzle over your favorite salad or store in the refrigerator until ready to use. This dressing pairs wonderfully with a spinach salad featuring hard-boiled eggs, bacon, and mushrooms, but is versatile enough for many other combinations.
