This is really a dip which is best used for steamed asparagus but can be enjoyed with broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, cherry tomatoes etc...
To use as a salad dressing, increase the amount of oil to 1/2 cup and the amount of lemon juice to a whole lemon.

Notes

This dip/dressing will be too much for one salad but as it can be made up to one week in advance, it will keep well in the refrigerator and will come handy if you eat salad every day.
