Big handful of basil
Handful of parsley
Big snip of chives
Tarragon (I used a little fresh thyme)
Some anchovies (optional)
Grated clove of garlic (optional)
Lemon juice
Olive oil
1/2 cup mayo
1/2 cup plain yogurt
Maldonado salt & a screw of pepper
Whiz in your blender and serve with little gem, or warm Jersey Royals or roasted cauliflower or crudités.
There is nothing more delicious.
Mayonnaise for one reason or another makes me gag. I know, I am a big baby. But do you think it would be good using for example smashed avocado instead?
ReplyDeleteI sometimes add feta and dill, reduce the mayo and call it Greek Goddess.
ReplyDeleteOoh. Always anchovies. Always garlic. Always little gems. Had a similar salad with three small crisp little gems, a creamy vinaigrette (very creamy), and squares of ripe avocado last Wednesday at César in Berkeley. The menu description: "little gems salad with avocado vinagreta & hazelnuts". *Happy sigh" (LPC? If you read this: I wish mayonnaise was not alluring to me. I could eat it with a spoon.x.:)
