The dressing really does make a salad. This dressing is so simple yet so good! The variety of fresh herbs adds so much flavor, and makes it smell so fresh! For the herbs, we just used whatever we had in our garden. Basil, oregano, sage, and thyme. They all pair perfectly with the other ingredients in the salad.
