Boost Flavor and Health with Homemade Lemon Garlic Mix

1. Wash the lemons thoroughly to remove any dirt or wax.
2. Zest the lemons using a microplane or a fine grater, taking care to avoid the bitter white pith.
3. Cut the lemons in half and juice them, removing any seeds. Set the lemon zest and juice aside.

Prepare the Garlic

1. Peel the garlic cloves. You can easily do this by placing the flat side of a knife over each clove and giving it a gentle press.
2. Finely mince the garlic or use a garlic press to get a fine consistency.

Combine the Ingredients

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, and minced garlic.
2. Add the olive oil, salt, and black pepper (if using). Mix well to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.

Add Fresh Parsley

If you’re using fresh parsley, finely chop a handful and stir it into the mix. Parsley adds a fresh, vibrant flavor and additional health benefits.

Store the Mix

Transfer the lemon garlic mix to a clean, airtight jar. Store it in the refrigerator, where it will keep for up to a week.
