When I set out to create this dressing, it was to complement my husbands delicious Oil-free Air Fryer Plantains (Tostones).
You see over the years I have been a huge Tessemae’s fan.
They have some of the best dressings out there, but since going more plant-based earlier this year, we have almost omitted all oils in our house, so that meant that I had to get in the kitchen and create a dressing that would taste just as good as Tesserae’s but oil-free and egg-free.
It took a few test runs, but I think this one definitely is a great alternative to Tesserae’s Lemon Garlic Dressing and even better, I got the seal of approval from my husband and both of my teenage boys.
All you will need for this recipe is a food processor or blender and these ingredients:
- 2 lemons, squeezed
- Zest of a lemon
- 2 TBSP of Dijon Mustard
- 6-7 Garlic Cloves
- 1 TSP Oregano or Italian Seasoning
- Salt to taste (optional)
- 1 TSP Black Pepper
Add all the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Add additional spices for taste and serve.
