Be the first to rate it
A tangy lemon and olive oil dressing seasoned with sumac and mint, made from a dry mix you can keep in a jar. Shake it up fresh for salads or pack the dry mix as a gift.
Ingredients
Dry mix
- 2 teaspoons ground sumac
- 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon dried mint
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Dressing
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- dry mix (above)
Equipment
- airtight jar
- zip-top bags
Directions
- Put the dry mix ingredients in a small jar or zip bag. Close it and label it. This makes one batch of mix.
- For the dressing, put one batch of the dry mix in a jar or dressing cruet with the lemon juice and olive oil.
- Close tightly and shake hard until completely blended.
- Chill for at least 4 hours before serving so the flavors develop.
- Shake well before dressing the salad.
Notes
Serve dressed salad right away; it doesn’t hold well. Leftover dressing keeps refrigerated up to two weeks; shake before each use. Dry mix keeps in a sealed jar at room temperature for several months. For bulk mix, multiply the dry ingredients by 4 or 6 and store in a labeled jar.
