Herb dressing

Elevate your salads, marinades, and dishes with this fresh and zesty herb dressing. Combining the richness of olive oil with the tanginess of vinegar, and the aromatic flavors of chives and parsley, this dressing is both simple to prepare and delightfully versatile.

Instructions:

2. Mix Vinegar and Sugar:
- In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons (30g) of vinegar and 1 teaspoon (5g) of sugar.
- Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
3. Add Olive Oil:
- Slowly pour 1/3 cup (80g) of olive oil into the vinegar and sugar mixture while continuously whisking. This helps to combine the ingredients thoroughly and emulsify the dressing.
4. Season:
- Add salt and pepper to taste. Start with a small amount and adjust according to your preference.
5. Incorporate Herbs:
- Add 1 tablespoon (16g) of finely chopped chives and 1 tablespoon (5g) of finely chopped fresh parsley to the mixture.
- Stir well to evenly distribute the herbs throughout the dressing.
6. Final Mix:
- Give the dressing a final whisk to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
7. Serve:
- Your herb dressing is now ready to use! Drizzle over salads, grilled vegetables, or use as a marinade.
8. Storage:
- If not using immediately, store the dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Shake well before each use as ingredients may separate over time.

Tips:

- For a smoother consistency, consider blending the ingredients in a food processor or blender.

- Feel free to adjust the proportions of the ingredients to match your taste preference.

- If desired, add a minced garlic clove for an extra layer of flavor.

- Let the dressing sit for a few hours in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to meld together.

- Store the dressing in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week for optimal freshness.

Creating your own herb dressing at home is an easy way to add vibrant flavors to your meals. With just a few fresh and simple ingredients, you can craft a delicious dressing that enhances any dish.
