- Wash the lemons thoroughly to remove any dirt or wax.
- Zest the lemons using a microplane or a fine grater, taking care to avoid the bitter white pith.
- Cut the lemons in half and juice them, removing any seeds. Set the lemon zest and juice aside.
Prepare the Garlic
- 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.
- Finely mince the garlic or use a garlic press to get a fine consistency.
Combine the Ingredients
- In a mixing bowl, combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, and minced garlic.
- 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.
