Author Notes: This was designed to be served with a citrus salad, but is also good over chicken, fish, pasta, rice, etc. - breadandbeta
Food52 Review: I LOVE this recipe. It doesn’t specify fresh or dried herbs, so I used fresh. Once it’s blended it turns gorgeous vibrant green -- appealing from the start. The dressing is fairly tart, which I like, but the tartness is nicely balanced by the bite of garlic and then the salty nuttiness of the cheese. Breadandbeta recommends using it on a citrus salad, but I was STARVING so I used it on a citrus and pasta salad and it was just perfect -- I have been dressing pasta salads with a pesto vinaigrette for years, but I am going to switch to this one. I think it would also be EXCELLENT on grilled lamb chops. As a side note, I was gobbling so fast I sort of slopped it all over myself, so soon I will be able to report on the effectiveness of Shout It Out on dressing-speckled sweatshirts. - aargersi - A&M

UPDATE - SHOUT works on this dressing on sweatshirts, and, come to find, t-shirts too. At this rate I will be able to report on my entire wardrobe :-) It's delicious! Congratulations and well deserved!!!

So glad you liked the dressing! I've made it with both fresh herbs and dried herbs and either works. I use whatever I have on hand. Thanks for the SHOUT tip. I have plenty of shirts to test this on. :)

This is a beautiful color. Does it stay this bright if you store extras?
