Happy Herbs Italian Vinaigrette is no ordinary Italian salad dressing.  This creamy herbal vinaigrette has a beautiful bold flavor with its mixture of simple, healthy ingredients: miso, hummus, white balsamic vinegar, lemon, lime, olive oil and Herbes de Provence (thyme, fennel, basil, savory, lavender). Enjoy on traditional greens with tomatoes, red onion, carrots and sunflower seeds, or with your favorite salad creation. Also enjoy as a vegetable dip by using a little less vinegar to thicken it. Here’s to your health and culinary enjoyment!

This invigorating dressing has six simple ingredients: lime (juice, pulp, zest), white balsamic vinegar, cilantro, kosher salt, cracked pepper, and a touch of olive oil.

If you want a fat-free version, leave out the olive oil, and if you don’t have cilantro, just combine the lime, balsamic, salt and pepper for a simple and refreshing dressing.

Enjoy!

I threw this hearty salad together last night with ingredients we had on hand and we enjoyed it with baked halibut.  It is also substantial enough to be served as a meal on its own.  It is highly versatile–you can add practically any veggies, fruits, nuts and even beans that you have on hand. It tastes even better the next day, as the dressing mellows the kale. I went to bed last night looking forward to this salad and enjoyed it again for breakfast.
