Parsley & Garlic (PG) paste dressing
The great thing about a classic combination of soft herb & garlic is that it really does go with everything, salad dressing wise. Something to be mindful of is your guests’ penchant for pungency, so if yours veer on the side of mild (no judgement!), pull back on adding too much of the paste - treat it like salt. But if you know that yours are the kind of guests who eat hummus for breakfast, go ham. For an extra garlicky flourish, bruise a clove and rub the inside of your serving bowl with it.

If you have made the PG mix, no biggy- just rub salad bowl with cut garlic and use well washed young parsley leaves as a salad leaf sprinkle salad leaves with salt flakes, squeeze in some lemon and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. Voila.
