Creamy Lemon Oregano Dressing
I started my garden in the backyard a few years ago because the idea of not having to buy fresh herbs was all I could think about.
I had this dream of needing a little thyme for a roast chicken and just going out into the yard with a pair of clippers and cutting a few sprigs. Or making cocktails with fresh mint for a few friends and placing a pair of scissors in one of their hands and asking them, ” would you go cut a few branches?” I also dreamed of what it would be like to cut handfuls of fresh cilantro and not even worry about washing them.
Now that dream has been realized. I never buy herbs from the store and there’s never any waste. And like most things from the garden, fresh-picked can’t be beat flavor-wise.
This salad dressing is a result of having a huge growth of oregano in my garden. I didn’t realize it when I planted it, but it is fairly invasive, so alongside the mint it makes for a fairly full garden box. I needed to trim a bit back and this dressing is a perfect way to make use of some.
Next project: beehives.
Have fun!
