LEMON VERBENA SALAD DRESSING image

Categories     Condiment/Spread     Herb     No-Cook     Low Fat     Quick & Easy

Yield 1 1/4 Cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup of lemon verbena leaves
2 chopped scallions
2 Tbls of chopped basil
2Tbls of chopped mint
2 cloves of garlic
¾ cup of plain nonfat yogurt
1/3 cup low fat Mayo
1 tsp of red wine vinegar
¼ tsp of hot pepper sauce
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

Tips:

  • Choose Fresh Ingredients: Use ripe, in-season corn and tomatoes for the best flavor. Goat cheese should be creamy and soft, and lemon verbena should be fresh and fragrant.
  • Prepare Ingredients Properly: Remove corn kernels from the cob and chop them into bite-sized pieces. Dice the tomatoes, and crumble the goat cheese. Chop the lemon verbena finely.
  • Make the Dressing in Advance: You can make the lemon verbena dressing ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week. This will save you time when you're ready to assemble the salad.
  • Toss the Salad Gently: Combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl and toss them gently until they are evenly coated with the dressing. Be careful not to over-mix the salad, or the tomatoes will burst.
  • Serve Immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it is made. The flavors will meld together as it sits, but the tomatoes will also start to release their juices, which can make the salad watery.

Conclusion:

This corn and tomato salad with goat cheese and lemon verbena dressing is a refreshing and flavorful summer dish. It is perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it can also be served as a side dish at a barbecue or picnic. The sweetness of the corn and tomatoes is perfectly balanced by the creamy goat cheese and the tangy lemon verbena dressing. This salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
