Fresh Herb Italian Dressing
I love growing fresh herbs, preferably outdoors in my garden, but up here in Canada that would eliminate growing fresh herbs for about 8 months of the year! So during our winter months I grow them in small containers that sit by my kitchen window. Although the herbs don’t grow as well as they do outdoors, it is still better than buying store bought fresh cut herbs that never last more than a couple of days. Fresh Herb Italian Dressing is great to serve with my Cucumber Salad Bites.

Growing your own herb garden is perfect for having fresh snipped herbs always on hand for making your own dressings. For this recipe I blended a combination of basil, oregano, thyme and Italian parsley. A fine quality olive oil is a must and well worth a few extra dollars when making homemade dressings.

    This is one of the most annoying web sites I have ever seen with the flashing ads and banner popping up at the bottom. Putting a block in my router to prevent this domain from coming up again.

      Sorry you feel this way Robert. My recipes are all free, the ads help me cover the expenses of running my blog.
