INGREDIENTS
1/3 vinegar – (blueberry + balsamic vinegar)
2/3 oil – avocado, olive or hazelnut
1/4 tsp pepper*
1/4 tsp salt*
FRESH Herbs: Italian parsley, thyme -lemon thyme, tarragon, basil
The amount of herbs varies -no exact measurement. Over the years, I have found that you never put in too much herbs.
*FRESH ground pepper corn (and salt) adds a specific aroma
Hint: If you don’t have everything ..improvise. Also, use best ingredients because you are not using that much of it.
Mix avocado oil with pepper + salt
Add vinegar – blend/shake in a small jar.
ADD HERBS**
**BEFORE YOU ADD THE HERBS – TASTE the dressing using a piece of lettuce [ This is an important step]
TASTE TEST: The best way to test this recipe is with a piece of lettuce. The taste should be dull. You are looking for the balance of oil and vinegar. The dressing should not be too vinegary. You need to keep in mind that the taste should be dull. The herbs will add a tangy lift. A mistake some people make is to have the vinegar overpowering.
Last step ..add the herbs. They provide an exquisite bright flavour to your dressing. I add lots of herbs.
