I’m a lemon addict; I use it in water every day, love iced tea with lemon, squeeze it on fish and veggies and am a big fan of the Master Cleanse. And growing up in a home heavily influenced by my Italian heritage, I was used to cooking everything with garlic – in fact, I couldn’t find many meals that I didn’t think a bit of garlic would enhance. So naturally I was devastated when I went in for my most recent food allergy testing and found out I was testing positive for allergies to both lemon and garlic. So, after an 8 week Candida cleanse diet, I’m ready to start reintegrating them into my diet to see if I have a positive response. So long as I don’t feel bad after testing them in my diet, I’ll be able to enjoy this tasty dressing again! And just in case you’re wondering, I will test them by introducing them over a 3 day period, trying small amounts of one each day, and then moving on to the other a few days later, and making sure I don’t have any reactions.
So, while I ease my way back into lemon and garlic, I’m hoping most of you are able to enjoy them and can revel in this delicious salad dressing adapted from http://b-eingpaleofabulous.blogspot.com that is Paleo and gluten-free friendly. It’s perfect for a light salad and adds a touch of an Italian flare to salads which many of you are missing when you cut out thick and creamy based dressings.
It stores for a couple of weeks so feel free to make it and keep in the cabinet for use on your salads, veggies, drizzled over a blackened fish and anywhere else you imagine a lemony-garlic-creamy flavor enhancement.
Enjoy!

I am making this dressing for the second time tonight! We LOVE… LOVE it! It is so light and refreshing! Great addition for our Paleo diet!
So glad you like it, and thanks for the comment!
LOVE IT! Is great on salad with Romaine, toasted slivered almonds, parmesan cheese, shredded Swiss cheese and bacon bits. So delish. We call it lemon salad.
