A simple herb salad dressing can be the making of any veggie combo, whether it is of the plain green variety or has all sorts of goodies already added for colour and taste.
Here I’ve used chives, basil, oregano and thyme.
Chop them all finely either with a sharp knife, herb chopper (aged as mine) or one of those fancy little electric gadgets.
Now take your trusty jam jar in which you make all your dressings because it is so easy to do it this way, and toss in the chopped herbs.
Add good olive oil and 1/3rd the ammount of red wine vinegar. The ammount depends on how much dressing you are making. Remember it will keep in the fridge for a couple of days and is handy to have around, so make more than you need today.
Add salt and black pepper to taste.
Put lid on jar and shake like mad. This is a good moment to pretend to be Tom Cruise in Cocktail – go for it!
Your simple herb salad dressing is now ready to pour over whatever greens and veggies you choose. I like it on a plain green mixed leaf salad.
Let those flavours shine through!
