Jane DayJane Day is co-author with Dr. John Day of "The Longevity Plan," documenting their journey to China's Longevity Village. "Preparing food for guests has always been a stressful thing - feeling inadequate and fearing that the dishes wouldn't turn out. Posting recipes has been an exercise in the ultimate confrontation of this fear. Gratefully, the joy in figuring out how to make favorite dishes with healthier ingredients now exceeds the fear and I take courage in the idea that maybe I can help someone else do the same." |
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!
