  salad dressing servings are typically 2 TBL at around 80 calories for a light one. The servings for this are 1 tsp. That puts it more realistically at 108 calories a serving. More than others with more flavor - 2/4/10

  A middle eastern staple, this dressing is an old favorite! My family loves it. Try adding a tbsp. each of finely chopped fresh mint and basil for additional flavor. - 1/25/10

  @NADS there are 3tsp in a TBSP therefore a 2 TBSP serving would be 71 cal. - 8/27/11

  I made this recipe and LOVE it. It was a bit sour for us - so added some Splenda [hubby a diabetic] and put half the salt in. LOVE that olive oil, garlic and lemon flavour. Our company enjoyed this dressing as well. - 2/4/10

  Very tart on a mixed greens salad ....adding herbs or a sweetener depending on what you are putting it on...would make it less tart.. - 3/21/15

  Another great option is to mash the garlic, place it in a jar with some salt and olive oil and let it sit for a couple of hours (or overnight.) The oil gets infused with the garlic for a nice, subtle flavor. - 3/2/18

  I though 8 cloves of garlic was a little excessive so started with four. Ended up going with all eight in the end, it adds sweetness and body to the dressing. Also, added 1/4 tsp of stevia crystals. - 3/17/17

  I made a similar version by Jamie Oliver w/o the garlic. Mixed one part lemon juice to 2 parts EVOO with a pinch of salt and pepper. You really don't need 1 TB (depending on salad size), just enough to coat, then mix. There should be no dressing swimming on the bottom. - 10/3/16

  For a stand alone salad dressing this was WAY TOO MUCH lemon for me. I only had enough fresh lemon to squeeze 3/4 cup, and even after doubling the olive oil and adding sugar this was still quite sour. Ended up adding oregano and soy sauce for more depth and it turned out alright. - 6/30/14

  I make something similar to this except I paste my garlic and add minced onion and finely chopped olives, I also like to add habanero or spicy hot chilies for more flavor. If you use olives, don't add the salt! - 12/25/11

  The key is fresh lemons!!! Store bought lemon juice makes this dressing too tangy. The greatest part of this is you can add anything to the base recipe and never go wrong. I love to add a 1/2 tspn of dijion mustard. Anyways well done. - 3/25/11

  Pretty good. I used bottled lemon juice rather than actual fresh lemon juice - I prob. should have tried the latter, & would have if I actually had more lemons & more time (I was kind of in a hurry & just wanted to make something quick). I also will prob. scale back on the pepper a lil' next time. - 3/4/10
