CREAMY FRESH HERB SALAD DRESSING
I started an herb garden this spring and made cuttings to get the plants more sun. Thus, I had to quickly find a way to use the fresh herbs, or freeze them. This dressing works great with salad greens, and if you are like me, you are not beneath looking for a snack in the middle of the night, armed with saltine crackers to dip into something.

CREAMY TOMATO-HERB SALAD DRESSING
If you create a wonderful, fresh salad then I believe that you should have a fantastic dressing to go on it! It takes no time at all and tastes SO much better and is much healthier than the bottled stuff. The herbs can be changed to suit your taste; I like the sweetish combination of the tarragon and basil, but this works well with thyme too. The sour cream can be replaced by plain yogurt or even buttermilk. Prep time is for the combined ingredients getting to know each other better in the fridge!
