I love fresh greens from the garden. Heavy salad dressings will mask the freshness of the greens and vegetables, so this light and tangy lemon garlic salad dressing is one of my favorites for drizzling over our salads.

Combined with smoked or grilled chicken or fish, it makes a perfect and healthy meal! One of my favorite fish to serve with this is Black Drum Fish, a mild salt water fish that holds together nicely for serving.

Drizzle dressing over salad just before serving.
