I just love the fresh taste of this easy to make aromatic dressing full of fresh aromatic herbs and zingy lemon flavour. It is most definitely a firm favourite in our family.

What Can I Use It On?

The simple flavours in this salad suit anything you would care to imagine.

Goes well with:

  • Any vegetable salad you can think of - try it with tomatoes, cucumbers, avocados, carrots, zucchini, asparagus. Sturdy greens such as kale, chard, silverbeet and spinach, leafy salad greens such as rocket (arugula), bagged greens, and lettuce varieties.
  • Salads with potato, pasta, rice or grains like - couscous, bulgur, ancient grain millet.
  • Cheeses - this is a great dressing to add to salads with cheeses like feta, goats cheese, or  parmesan

Try it With

  • Greek Salad as an alternative dressing to the red wine vinegar.
  • Niçoise salad for a wonderful zesty boost to a classic.
  • Your next pasta or potato salad as a light and tasty alternative to mayonnaise.
  • Fresh peeled prawns either as a salad or as a dipping sauce.
  • Drizzled over smoky grilled mushrooms.
  • Sour cream as a wonderful dipping sauce for your veggies, just stir it through a small container.

Doubles as a marinade

Not only is the super easy dressing great for salads but it does a double act and makes a sensational marinade for grilled meats at your next barbecue. Great with chicken, lamb, steak, pork or with fish and seafood.
