    Step-by-step instructions with photos

    Step 2: Blend until smooth

    Mix until you obtain a smooth texture.

    Hint: Place in a jar and allow at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavor of the herbs to combine.

    Tips

    • Fresh herbs can be pricy and lead to a lot of waste. A lot of time don't use all the herbs so the rest often end up in the compost bin. So why not grow your own herbs during the summer season, it's a lot cheaper and you have them in your garden ready to use everything time you need them.
    • Dressings all have some key components that are required for a balanced consistency and taste – oil, vinegar, and seasonings.  Oil and vinegar don’t usually want to mix together, so they need to be whisked or shaken together, which is called emulsification.  It can help to have something to assist the emulsification process, such as mustard, which contains a component that keeps the dressing from separating.  A little sweetness never goes amiss either, which is why I’ve added just a touch of maple syrup.

    Substitutions

    • Fresh herbs - You can all your favorite herbs in this recipe.
    • Whole grain mustard - Dijon mustard would also be delicious
    • Vegetarian - the maple syrup can be replaced with honey to make this vegetarian

    Equipment

    • Food processor or blender
    • Dressing Container

    Storage

    I keep my dressings in a mason jar so that I can easily shake them up before serving. It can be kept in the fridge for up to 4 days.

    These ingredients don't stand up well to freezing.

    FAQ'S

    What are the best herbs to use for a dressing?

    Basil, anise, cilantro, chives, dill, lemon balm, mint, parsley, tarragon, dill, oregano.

    Should oil and vinegar dressing be refrigerated?

    If you are using the dressing on a regular basis, there is no need to refrigerate. The acidity in the vinegar should be enough to keep the dressing stable.

    My personal favorite use for this dressing is over top of my Farmers’ Market Farro Bowl, but truthfully it’s great in just about any salad.  Plus, it can double as a marinade for meats, tofu, or veggies.
