Meyer lemon, olive and dried cherry sauce

By naqgal90

Look for Meyer lemon-flavored olive oil. It offers a slightly sweet yet tart flavor to the oil. If you can't find it, add a bit of lemon juice and zest to plain olive oil and go from there.

Make this up to 1 week ahead; cover in an airtight container and refrigerate.

Ingredients

• 2 cloves garlic, sliced into very thin slivers
• 1/2 cup Meyer or other lemon-flavored olive oil
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons chopped each: kalamata olives, dried cherries
• Leaves from 2 sprigs fresh thyme
