Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 cup Fresh parsley leaves
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
- 0.25 cup Fresh dill
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 0.25 cup Fresh chives
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 cup Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Start by washing and drying all the fresh herbs thoroughly. This will ensure there is no excess water which can dilute the dressing.
Step 2
Next, finely chop the parsley, cilantro, dill, basil, and chives, making sure to measure each as you go to maintain the correct quantities.
Step 3
Peel the garlic cloves and roughly chop them. You can also use a garlic press to mince them finely.
Step 4
In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped fresh herbs, minced garlic, olive oil, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Blend the mixture on medium speed until it is smooth and emulsified. This should take about 30-60 seconds.
Step 6
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or lemon juice if desired.
Step 7
Transfer the dressing to a mason jar or airtight container.
Step 8
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Shake well before serving.
Step 9
Drizzle over salads, use as a marinade for grilled meats, or serve alongside roasted vegetables.
