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.

This indeed was yummy! I used a combo of dill, basil, a spot of rosemary, chives, parsley, and some lemon oregano all combined together with the other ingredients to produce this happy, lovely, dressing. I followed this exactly, except used some half-in-half instead of whipping cream. I pulsed it until it got much thinner, and it was divine. I added 1 tsp. more of vinegar, just because I like a bit of a tang to it. I will use this often, as this is one lovely recipe. Thanks for posting!
