Tassajara North African Lemon Dressing

This dressing is suggested for salads with tomatoes, sweet onions, cucumbers, peppers, or fruit salads and cottage cheese. At Tassajara, we use it often with salads of lettuce and grapefruit sections. A delicious variation can be made by using limes in place of lemons.

zest of 2 lemons
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp tsp cayenne or Tabasco sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
2/3 to 3/4 cup olive oil
1/2 tsp coriander
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1/2 tsp paprika
1 tsp sugar

Combine all ingredients in a bowl; mix well and chill before serving.
