Ingredients

  • 1 cup parsley (70 grams) packed (see my note about stems)
  • 1/2 cup baby spinach (20 grams) packed
  • 3 tablespoons chives roughly chopped
  • 3 tablespoons fresh dill
  • 1 tablespoon green onions chopped two inches into the green (1 small green onion)
  • 1 teaspoon dried tarragon
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1/2 cup light sour cream (113.5 grams)
  • 1/2 cup light mayonnaise (113 grams) see my notes in the post about alternatives
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1/2 - 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • dash freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • In a blender or food processor, blend the parsley, spinach, chives, dill, green onions, garlic, and dried tarragon.
    1 cup parsley, 1/2 cup baby spinach, 3 tablespoons chives, 3 tablespoons fresh dill, 1 tablespoon green onions, 1 teaspoon dried tarragon, 1 garlic clove
  • Add the sour cream and mayonnaise to the food processor. Add in half the amount of lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper called for. Blend the salad dressing and then taste it. If it tastes too bitter, add more honey. If it doesn't taste bright enough, add more lemon juice, if it is too bland, add more salt and pepper. The amounts above reflect what I ended up using.
    1/2 cup light sour cream, 1/2 cup light mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon honey, 1/2 - 1 teaspoon kosher salt, dash freshly ground black pepper
