One of the easiest and most delicious ways to use garlic raw is to make a simple dressing. This dressing can be used not only for salads, but also to marinate chicken, shrimp, potatoes, you name it!

Ingredients:

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice (can also use zest if it's an organic lemon)

1-2 cloves of garlic, pressed

1 Tbsp dried oregano or thyme

1 tsp sea salt and a pinch of pepper to taste

Place all of the ingredients in a mason jar, and shake. Use immediately on any salad, or roasted veggies. You can also use this mixture as a marinade. Can be stored in the fridge for up to 7 days, simply take out and thaw out the oil because it will harden.
