Description
This recipe is a salad dressing, a sauce and a marinade. Put five ingredients in a blender and out comes a healthy herb salad dressing. It is paleo, Whole30, keto, vegan, dairy free sugar free and gluten free – but mostly it’s just delicious.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 cups packed fresh herbs*
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 2 – 3 tablespoons vinegar (White vinegar works fine, but you can substitute whatever you have on hand.)
- 1 – 2 cloves garlic
- 1 thin slice of red onion or a 1/2 of a small shallot
- Salt and pepper to taste
- (optional) 1/4 to 1/2 cup water, if needed
Suggested Herb* Combos
- cilantro (this is my standard “go to”)
- mix of cilantro and flat leaf parsley
- basil (delicious on chopped tomatoes and cucumbers)
- mix of basil and mint (great for Asian-inspired dishes)
- mix of basil, oregano and flat leaf parsley
Instructions
Blend all ingredients in a blender or food processor until smooth.
Add water to obtain desired consistency.
Notes
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about a week. It probably won’t last that long.
Try it as a marinade for chicken, shrimp, white fish (tilapia or cod).
