Notes
~ Use a high speed blender for best smooth results.
~ Use fresh lemon juice, not bottled.
~ Use fresh herbs, not dried.
~ Add water to reach your desired consistency. Use less water to make a thicker consistency that can be used as a dip. Use a little more to make a pourable dressing.
~ Do not blend the herbs with the other ingredients in the blender. Whisk them into the blended dressing.
~ Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more lemon, spices, or salt to your taste.
~ This recipe can easily be doubled.
