It is very important to have a few really tasty salad dressing recipes (along with a couple of Ball jars to shake them in) in your cooking repertoire.  A special, homemade dressing can brighten up the simplest of salads.  This salad was a tossed green salad made with watercress, Bibb lettuce and Belgian endive, tossed with home grown cherry tomatoes, scallions, and some chopped hazelnuts for a bit of crunch.  With fresh herbs on hand in the fridge, I made this Creamy Herb Vinaigrette to dress this salad.  A slightly sweet and creamy dressing made from fresh herbs like thyme, basil and tarragon, apple cider vinegar, agave nectar, avocado oil, Greek yogurt, and Dijon mustard. Tangy, sweet, smooth and delectable, this would also be a lovely dressing to drizzle of roasted asparagus, or even over warm potatoes for a modern twist on a potato salad.
