I do chortle to myself when people say that salads are BORING. I then have to ask what they are putting in their salads to make them a culinary flatliner. Usually they put your very droll and run of the mill veges in there like iceberg lettuce and well – if that’s what you think is a salad – better get with the program! Flavour is abundant with salads if you know what you are doing and one thing that is very important is knowing what dressing will make it delicious and healthy too! This Herb and Garlic Vinaigrette will certainly do the trick!

Instructions
- Immersion Blender or Blender Method: Measure all of the ingredients into a bowl or into the blender carafe. Blend until emulsified. It will separate over time, but a good shake will bring it back together.
- Old School Method: Add 1 teaspoon of Dijon Mustard to a bowl. If using honey, do so now and mix with the mustard. Slowly add the vinegar so that the ingredients are incorporated thoroughly. Now, almost drop by drop at first, begin adding the oil, whisking until it is “absorbed” by the vinegar mixture. We are looking for very, very, small droplets of oil floating on the surface. Once half of the oil is incorporated, it can be added a little more quickly. When emulsified, add the seasonings and sweetener. Lastly, slowly add the water. Done! And, it only took 20 minutes of constant whisking. You’re a beast! Yeah! Now, show us your muscles.
