Author Notes

This salad dressing is something like a healthy hybrid of caesar and ranch. Loaded with fresh parsley, basil, tarragon and dill it turns nothing fancy greens into a salad worth serving guests. http://beetsandbluecheese.com/2013/06/22/grilled-chicken-with-fresh-herb-vinaigrette/ —beetsandbluecheese.com

I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. I have a grill sauce for chicken that's also loaded with fresh herbs: http://beetsandbluecheese.com/2013/06/22/grilled-chicken-with-fresh-herb-vinaigrette/

I'll be sure to try this grilled chicken herb recipe too. Thank you. I love your blog and so happy you shared it with me via Food52! I couldn't agree with you more about how wonderful it is to have these fresh herbs growing in the garden. This year, rather than growing the traditional basil, parsley, thyme, dill, cilantro, oregano, tarragon, etc... I decided to also add, lovage, lemon verbena, and sorrel, and finding they complement all the others and look really beautiful growing in the garden bed. Looking forward to more of your recipes and writings. Thanks again! M.
