Mom's Italian Dressing

Materials

I like everything in my salad... including lettuce.

• 3 lemons, squeezed
• 2-3 cloves garlic, pressed
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 Tablespoon dried basil
• 1 Tablespoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried dill
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 Tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon instant clear jell (optional, but thickens it)
• 1/4 cup olive oil

Methods

1. Combine dry ingredients in a bowl or dish and mix (this is important so you don't get clumps of the instant clear jell). I grind them in a mortar and pestle.
2. I also rub the herbs between my hands to bring out the flavor.
3. Use a garlic press to crush the garlic cloves into the lemon juice
4. Add dry ingredients and mix immediately and thoroughly
5. Add olive oil mix again
