Lemon juice is considered to be an alkalizing food, as it has a high pH level and contains alkaline minerals. Alkalizing ingredients are those that help to balance the pH level in the body and reduce acidity. This type of salad dressing is not only delicious, but it can also provide numerous health benefits. The alkalizing properties of lemon juice can help to reduce inflammation in the body and improve digestion. Additionally, the olive oil in the dressing is a healthy fat and the garlic when consumed and metabolized by the body, has an alkalizing effect. This is because garlic contains compounds that are converted into alkaline substances by the body, such as potassium and magnesium.
Rough chop two garlic cloves–depending on your garlic tolerance.
Using a mortar and pestle, combine the garlic and sea salt and grind until it becomes a paste.
Add garlic-salt paste to your jar with the lemon and olive oil.
Shake vigorously and serve.
