To the left you can see my seedlings and my mint plant that we transplanted from my friends garden.
Here you have another spot where I sew seeds and place plants that need partial shade, along with my well established herbs and my lemon tree is behind it.

Having all these fresh herbs, I wanted to make another great dressing. When Randy and I go to the Melting Pot, one of my favorite dips is the Green Goddess sauce. This is taking that sauce and making it a dressing for a salad or a dip for veggies. Fresh, fast and fantastic.
adapted from The Bon Appétit Test Kitchen
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
1/4 cup coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 anchovy fillets packed in oil (drained, chopped)
1 chopped garlic clove
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
In a blender, add all the ingredients and blend until mixed well. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
You have such a nice garden!
ReplyDeleteAnd the dip is amazing - I love everything buttermilk, and when you add fresh herbs and garlic, what can be better than that? Definitely giving it a try. Thank you for sharing :-)
I could drink that dressing! YUM!! Loved seeing all your pots and plants. I have a bunch of herbs on my deck. I don't think I'm them enough though.
