CREAMY FRESH HERB SALAD DRESSING
I started an herb garden this spring and made cuttings to get the plants more sun. Thus, I had to quickly find a way to use the fresh herbs, or freeze them. This dressing works great with salad greens, and if you are like me, you are not beneath looking for a snack in the middle of the night, armed with saltine crackers to dip into something.

CREAMY TOMATO-HERB SALAD DRESSING
If you create a wonderful, fresh salad then I believe that you should have a fantastic dressing to go on it! It takes no time at all and tastes SO much better and is much healthier than the bottled stuff. The herbs can be changed to suit your taste; I like the sweetish combination of the tarragon and basil, but this works well with thyme too. The sour cream can be replaced by plain yogurt or even buttermilk. Prep time is for the combined ingredients getting to know each other better in the fridge!

Tips:
- Fresh herbs are essential for a flavorful dressing. Use a variety of herbs, such as parsley, chives, basil, and thyme, to create a complex flavor profile.
- Use high-quality olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil has the best flavor, but you can use a lighter olive oil if you prefer.
- Add a touch of acidity to balance out the richness of the dressing. Lemon juice or white wine vinegar are both good options.
- Season the dressing to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder for extra flavor.
- Let the dressing rest for at least 30 minutes before using it. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
- Use the dressing on salads, grilled vegetables, or roasted chicken. It can also be used as a marinade or dipping sauce.
