I made this dressing to go with my Mediterranean Garlic & Paprika Prawns and wanted something fresh enough to balance the smoky paprika, garlic and olive oil without adding another heavy flavour to the plate.
It’s about as simple as a dressing gets: lemon, extra virgin olive oil, oregano, garlic and black pepper. There’s no added sweetness because I actually want the acidity from the lemon to come through, especially with mixed leaves and thinly sliced red onion.
It’s a good basic Mediterranean-style dressing to keep around whenever a salad needs a little acidity and flavour without becoming the main event.
