Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 cup Fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon Fresh oregano
- 1 Garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Begin by washing and drying all the fresh herbs thoroughly. Remove any tough stems, especially from parsley and basil, then roughly chop all herbs.
Peel the garlic clove. For a milder garlic flavor, you may use roasted garlic instead. Mince the garlic finely or use a garlic press.
In a blender or food processor, combine the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, water, Dijon mustard, chopped parsley, basil, chives, dill, oregano, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
Blend the mixture on medium speed for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until all the ingredients are well combined and the dressing is smooth.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if needed. You can add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice according to your preference.
Transfer the dressing to a clean jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before using.
Shake well before serving. This sugar-free fresh herb dressing can be kept in the refrigerator for up to one week.
