Tanna’s Favorite Dressing
My all-time FAVORITE dressing. I love to serve it over leafy greens, cotija cheese, pumpkin flavored pumpkin seeds, blackberries, pomegranates, and fermented lemons (or thinly sliced julienned lemons). You will never go back to store bought dressing after you try this one.

½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon dry mustard
¼ teaspoon pepper
¼ cup or less avocado oil
2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
In a small bowl, whisk together the ingredients. Keep it in fridge for 2-3 weeks.
