Description

A spicy lemon garlic dressing for tossing with fresh greens or marinating chicken.

I tried this recipe because I like lemon based dressings. After I followed the recipe and mixed all the ingredients I found that the dressing was delicious although a bit tart, so to fix that problem I also added a small amount of sugar to offset the tartness of the lemon. One word of warning, if you want your dressing to be a nice yellow color (as pictured in the recipe), omit the paprika. The paprika adds no flavor that I am aware of and turns the dressing a light melon color, as in French dressing or thousand island.

Ingredients

1 lemon, peeled, halved
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
2 garlic cloves, peeled
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup (80 ml) olive oil

Directions

Place lemon, hot sauce, garlic, paprika, and seasonings into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure lid. Select Variable 1. Turn machine on and slowly increase speed to Variable 10, then to High. Blend for 45 seconds to 1 minute, using the tamper to press the ingredients into the blades. Reduce speed to Variable 7 and remove lid plug. While machine is running, slowly pour in oil through lid opening. Blend for 20 seconds.
