- 8 oz lemon juice not from concentrate

Notes
Notes and Substitutions:
This recipe is very forgiving. You can easily add a tablespoon (or two) of lemon juice to make this lemon olive oil salad dressing more, well, lemony, while keeping the olive oil ratio the same.
Likewise, if you prefer a more subtle lemon flavor, increase the olive oil by a tablespoon (or two).
Storage Instructions:
Olive oil and lemon may try to separate over time, while olive oil has a tendency to congeal during refrigeration. If you refrigerate the dressing, stir to combine once it has been removed from the refrigerator.
If you mix this dressing into the salad, and store the salad in the refrigerator, depending on the longevity of the salad itself, you should consume it within a few days.
