Fresh Herb Italian Dressing

April 23, 2014 by Laureen King 6 Comments

This recipe for Fresh Herb Italian Dressing is light, refreshing and packed with flavour.
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.
