Tips:

  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, and basil, add a burst of flavor to the dressing. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount, as they are more concentrated.

  • Let the dressing sit for a while: This allows the flavors to meld together and develop. You can make the dressing ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  • Use the dressing on a variety of salads: This dressing is perfect for a variety of salads, including green salads, Caesar salads, and pasta salads. It can also be used as a marinade for chicken or fish.
