herb garden salad dressing
What a lovely weekend. A little day trip to Pepin, long walks, and lots of time spent in the fresh air, working on yard projects and getting our herbs and flowers planted. I hope you had a beautiful Mother’s Day.
Here’s a special salad dressing recipe using lots of fresh herbs from your garden… I made up a jar for our dinner last night.
~ herb garden salad dressing ~
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream or greek yogurt
juice of one lemon
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped, fresh parsley
1/4 cup chopped, fresh oregano
2 Tablespoons chopped, fresh chives
1 clove garlic
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Place all in the bowl of a food processor and blend until smooth and creamy. This dressing will keep in the refrigerator for a week.
Enjoy!

I am always on the lookout for new salad dressing recipes. I love the greek yogurt. This one is a keeper!
enjoy Valerie! and thanks for stopping by 🙂
Made this yesterday and tastes great! Only thing is it was really thick, not really pourable. Any ideas on what I may have done wrong? Also I’d like to pin this, are you on pinterest? Thanks!
Hi Lisa! it’s suppose to be thick. Much like the dressings you would buy in the produce section of the grocery store…just spoon a little on your salad…a little goes a long way. 🙂
Oh, okay! Good to know! We put it on a salad topped with grilled salmon and it went great as a sauce for the fish too! The thickness also made it work as a veggie dip! I’ll definitely be making this again. Thanks for sharing!
my pleasure Lisa! so pleased you like it 😉
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your photos! and recipes, too! 🙂
Aw! you made my day! xoxo
I miss going to Pepin. I use to go there often when I lived in central Wisconsin. This dressing looks wonderful and I have some herbs that need using up. And you pictures looks so inviting. Marlys
Hi Marlys! Yes, we love Pepin too. A lovely place to go for a picnic to just gaze out at the water…visit Laura Ingalls Wilder country…or go to one of our favorite restaurants (Harbor View!) xoxo and thanks for stopping by with a comment! enjoy that herb-filled dressing. 😉
The dressing looks and sounds yummy! I am so ready for spring to get out in the yard and start digging in my gardens.
Thanks, Patty. I’m so happy you like the recipe! I’m excited for spring and for flowers and herbs and eating al fresco…and …and …and 🙂 so many things! So nice of you to visit! XO 🙂
