Vary the taste of this simple dressing by replacing the garlic and onions with dill or chives. Add mustard and a drop of honey and it will taste completely different again. There is no limit to your imagination.

Juice of 1 lemon
4 Tbsp (50 ml) flax seed oil
1 Tbsp (15 ml) extra-virgin olive oil, pumpkin seed oil or any nut oil
1/2 clove garlic, minced
1 Tbsp (15 ml) white or red onion, minced
1/2 tsp (2 ml) nutritional yeast
1/4 tsp (1 ml) herbal salt, such as Herbamare or Country Sun
Splash of balsamic, wine or apple cider vinegar
1/8 tsp (0.5 ml) soy sauce (optional)

In a large salad bowl, whisk lemon juice and flax seed oil until creamy. Add olive oil (or pumpkin seed oil), garlic, onion, yeast, herbal salt, vinegar and soy sauce (if desired); whisk until well blended. Add salad greens, toss well and serve immediately. Makes enough for four salad servings.
