Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 cup Fresh parsley leaves
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
- 0.25 cup Fresh dill
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 0.25 cup Fresh chives
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 cup Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Start by washing and drying all the fresh herbs thoroughly. This will ensure there is no excess water which can dilute the dressing.
Next, finely chop the parsley, cilantro, dill, basil, and chives, making sure to measure each as you go to maintain the correct quantities.
Peel the garlic cloves and roughly chop them. You can also use a garlic press to mince them finely.
In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped fresh herbs, minced garlic, olive oil, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper.
Blend the mixture on medium speed until it is smooth and emulsified. This should take about 30-60 seconds.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or lemon juice if desired.
Transfer the dressing to a mason jar or airtight container.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Shake well before serving.
Drizzle over salads, use as a marinade for grilled meats, or serve alongside roasted vegetables.
