Best		 This dressing is made with various proportions. The formula given here is about normal but may be a little tart for some (if so use less lemon and more oil). Some formulas have no herbs, but as many as 3 cl of Garlic. Pomegranite Juice or Verjuice (juice of very unripe grapes) are also sometimes used in place of Lemon Juice.
