Tips:

Choose fresh herbs: Fresh herbs provide the best flavor and aroma to the dressing. If possible, use herbs that are just picked or grown in your own garden.
Use a variety of herbs: Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs. Some good combinations include basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, and parsley.
Chop the herbs finely: This will help the herbs to infuse their flavor into the dressing.
Use a good quality olive oil: The olive oil is the base of the dressing, so it's important to use a good quality oil. Look for an oil that is extra virgin and has a fruity flavor.
Add some acid: Acid helps to balance the flavors in the dressing. You can add acid in the form of lemon juice, vinegar, or white wine.
Season to taste: Once you've made the dressing, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or acid.
