Parsley Honey and Lemon Salad Dressing

Looking for another flavor of salad dressing to make for your family? You have come to the right place, this Parsley Honey and Lemon Dressing is a delicious and fresh tasting change, you will love! 


No matter how you source it or grow it, this is perfect for your next salad. 

Now that we have settled into our home, 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 door. We have Tuscan Kale, Swiss Chard, and lots of containers of various potatoes along with zucchini and tomatoes. The perfect ingredients for a composed salads as desired through the summer. 

Until we 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 the many different greens that are usually served cooked, that also make a delicious salad, when plucked from the garden at their baby stage. When greens are young and tender, they are delicious fair game for a tossed salad!


The salad we enjoyed today was a composed salad of avocado and fresh pear.  

Slices of each are arranged on a platter and drizzled with Parsley Honey and Lemon Salad Dressing. It is a snap to make as  all composed salads are. And this salad dressing uses two of my favorite ingredients, lemon, and parsley. 

If you are a fan of a sweet and salty combination, sprinkle on some Feta cheese, on this easy and delicious salad. Personally, I am always up for a sweet and salty flavor combo. But this salad dressing is delicious over any bowl of tender greens that you enjoy, and what a delicious way to eat more vegetables!

You will also need the following:
  • shaker/storage jar
  • blender, or
  • stick blender

Now we are ready to begin!
