Drizzle over sliced summer tomatoes for a quick and easy salad.
Preparation: 10 minutes, plus 30 minutes resting time
1 large clove garlic
1/4 cup fresh Italian parsley leaves,
washed and dried
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
Insert the metal blade. With the machine running, drop the garlic down the small feed tube;
process 5 seconds to chop. Add the fresh parsley, dried basil and oregano, salt, pepper, mus-
tard and vinegar; process 10 seconds to blend. With the machine running, add the olive oil
one third cup at a time through the hole in the small feed tube pusher. Process 1 minute
longer until totally emulsified.
Adjust seasonings to taste. Allow the dressing to rest for 30 minutes before using, to allow the
flavors to blend. Refrigerate unused portions – bring to room temperature (30 minutes) before
using, and reprocess to emulsify, using the metal blade if necessary.
Variation: For an Herbed Vinaigrette, use red or white wine vinegar.
