Instructions

Working time approx. 5 minutes; Total time approx. 5 minutes

perfect with leaf salad or as a dressing for cucumber salad

For the dressing, simply mix all the ingredients together and season with salt. Add the crushed garlic clove. The herb vinegar is what gives the dressing its great flavor—I recommend not substituting it with other vinegars. The choice of herbs determines which types of salad the dressing is particularly suitable for. For a cucumber salad, I use extra dill; for a leaf salad, I use whatever herbs I can get my hands on. Tip: If the dressing is too thick for you, you can thin it out with milk or water, a tablespoon at a time. At home, we actually just eat it with green salad. That might sound unspectacular at first, but it works great as a side salad. You could just as easily make a mixed salad—or a cucumber salad. I like to make the latter often; in that case, I just omit the pinch of curry from the dressing and use a generous portion of dill instead of mixed herbs.
