Gradually whisk in the extra-virgin olive oil until the dressing emulsifies and thickens.
Add the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to the dressing.
Whisk all ingredients together until well combined.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning, if necessary. Add more salt or lemon juice to your preference.
Transfer the dressing to a mason jar or airtight container.
