Lemon Sumac Dressing Recipe
- Fresh Lemon Juice. Fresh is best for this recipe. Lemons and limes add a bright fresh flavor. Don’t use the bottled stuff.
- Olive oil . We use extra-virgin olive oil rather than lite olive oil, but you could use a mix of both or just light olive oil if you like.
- Water. I like to add 2-3 tablespoons of water to the dressing to tame the tartness of the lemon in this sumac vinaigrette.
- Garlic. Depending on how much garlic you like, we add 2-3 cloves. If you don’t blend the dressing in a blender, then finely grate or mince it and whisk together with the other ingredients.
- Seasoning. We season this dressing with sumac, dried oregano and dill, and salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
