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)

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.
