Parsley Honey and Lemon Salad Dressing |
Now that we have settled into our home in Montana, we have big plans for a raised garden, but until that is completed, we took the time to make a small potager right outside the back sliding glass door. We have Tuscon Kale, Swiss Chard, and lots of containers of various potatoes along with zucchini and tomatoes.
Until we can begin harvesting regularly we try and purchase from our local Farmer's Market and the organic market in town. As my creativity kicks in I have come to enjoy many different greens (usually served cooked) plucked from the garden when young and used in a tossed salad. When young just about every green leafy vegetable is fair game for a tossed salad!
One dish we will enjoy today is a salad composed of avocado and fresh pear slices, drizzled with this zesty dressing. It is a snap to make and uses two of my favorite flavors, lemon, and parsley. If you are a fan of a sweet and salty combination, sprinkle on some Feta cheese, personally, I am always up for a sweet and salty combo.
Note: As written this is a delicious, yet delicate dressing perfect for a composed salad, with the dressing served on top of the salad items. However for a tossed salad, a salad dressing with more substance would be appreciated, and to achieve that result, you will find suggested amounts in parenthesis below.
- parsley
- oil
- honey
- lemon juice
- salt
- sharker/storage jar
- blender, or
- stick blender
- citrus juicer
- liquid measuring cup
