Meyer Lemon and Garlic Dressing (Currandooley Dressing)

Tangy and refreshing, this dressing can be used to dress any combination of mixed greens. We've also made it with juice from regular lemons, and the results were just as delicious, if a bit more tart.

a tad bit of dijon mustard helps to balance the garlic.
Very nice dressing. I used preserved lemon instead of lemon juice, and cut back on the salt accordingly.
This is very salty. Really, a whole Tablespoon of salt? I might try this again with a teaspoon of salt. Also, I agree with birdbrain that a little Dijon is nice in this.

Meyer lemons are not always easy to come by. The preserved lemon is a great idea, as they have a creamy mellow taste. I'm going to try the preserved lemon. Thanks 'MSCHER'!!!
