Lemon-Garlic Dressing

This is a fairly easy and light dressing for all kinds of Mediterranean-style salads. It uses lemon juice rather than vinegar, which gives it a less sour but a more refreshing taste.

juice of 1/2 lemon
1 or 2 cloves of garlic
olive oil, salt, pepper

Squeeze the garlic through a garlic press into a cup or small bowl, and together with some salt "mash" the garlic to an almost liquid consistency. Add lemon juice and olive oil and season with pepper. You can also add some mustard for more flavour.
