A vibrant and flavorful dressing perfect for salads or marinades.
Peel and finely mince the garlic.
Use a garlic press for quicker and finer results.
In a medium bowl, combine the minced garlic, sugar, dry mustard, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, red wine vinegar, and the juice of the lemon.
Ensure the sugar dissolves completely for a smooth dressing.
Slowly whisk in the olive oil and canola oil until the mixture is emulsified.
Add the oil gradually to achieve a stable emulsion.
Stir in the chopped fresh herbs, celery seed, and parmesan cheese.
Chop the herbs finely to release their full flavor.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Taste with a piece of lettuce to gauge the flavor balance.
Transfer the dressing to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Chilling allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Serve the dressing over your favorite salad or use it as a marinade.
Shake the container before serving to re-emulsify the dressing.
