Using a fine grater, carefully remove the zest from the lemon.
STEP 3
Squeeze out the juice from the lemon and strain it through a fine sieve.
TIPS: Looking to get every last drop of juice from your lemons? Well, you’re in luck! There are a couple of handy methods you can try. First off, if you happen to have a citrus juicer, that’s the way to go. It’s super convenient and ensures you get the most juice out of your lemons. But fear not if you don’t have one! A simple fork can do the trick too. Just poke and twist it into the lemon flesh, and voila! You’ll have some freshly squeezed juice in no time.
TIPS: When it comes to lemon juice, you have the choice between using fresh lemons or bottled lemon juice. Both options work just fine, so go with whatever you have on hand or prefer. The tangy flavor of lemon will add a refreshing twist to your dish.

STEP 5
Wash the parsley, dry it, and finely chop it.

In a medium bowl, combine the lemon juice, lemon zest, dried garlic, and vegetable oil. Mix everything thoroughly.
TIPS: Instead of using dried garlic, you can opt for a small clove of fresh garlic as a substitute. To prepare it, finely chop or use a garlic press to extract its flavor.
