Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Very good and easy! We didn’t love how soft the Bibb lettuce was, but this was tasty. We omitted the radishes and added sunflower seeds.

    I used yogurt and gave my best effort at the garlic smear/ paste method. An early taste was very good but just a bit “sharp” for us ....easily fixed a shot of honey. We really enjoyed this over romaine with thinly sliced celery & red onion and a finishing sprinkle of grated Parmesan. A repeat for sure.

    This is a nice dressing (I used mayo as the emulsifier)- will probably repeat this in the spring when I start getting my herbs back in. I just used a garlic press- as I always do when adding raw garlic to a sauce.

    Great dressing for delicate greens. I made the variation that uses creme fraiche in the dressing, and it turned out really well.

    This is a simple garlic vinaigrette that uses mayo as an emulsifer. I would usually use mustard for this purpose but I have to say I like the mayo better. I will not, however, use her technique of making a garlic puree with the side of a knife. I thought it was way more work than just using a mortar and pestle or doing a fine mince. This was a bit acidic for my taste but the 5 year old loved it.
