An herbal salad dressing

Spring herbs are a wonderful fresh addition to your menu. Our late spring shares include several fresh herbs -- garlic chives, cilantro, oregano, and dill.

A little cilantro chopped into a salad adds a touch of zest. Garlic chives can be substitued for garlic in some recipes. Many foods will be jazzed up with a garnish of fresh herbs.

One of our favorites is a ranch-style dressing using several of the fresh herbs. Try experimenting with this recipe to suit your preferences.

Whisk (or blend in blender) the following together:

2 cloves garlic (minced or mashed) OR 24"-36" chopped garlic chives
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4-1/3 cup milk
2 Tbsp. parsley (or try fresh finely chopped cilantro instead?)
2 Tbsp. fresh dill, finely chopped
1/2 tsp. Onion powder
1 tsp. vinegar
dash pepper
