This dressing will have plenty of garlic flavor without the heat raw garlic can lend to things. Garlic chives are a flat bladed chive which pack plenty of garlic flavor. Use this dressing with sturdy lettuces and bold flavors.

INGREDIENTS:

¼ cup of red wine or white balsamic vinegar

¼ to 1/3rd cup garlic chives, roughly chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

4-5 sprigs fresh thyme leaves

¼ olive oil

½ cup plain runny yogurt + more if needed

 

METHOD:

Place the first 6 ingredients into a blender and blend on low for 1 minute.

Add the 1/2-cup yogurt to the blender and blend on medium-high until fully emulsified. Add more yogurt if the dressing needs it.

Store in the refrigerator until needed.

Chef’s Notes: You can use crème fraiche, sour cream, or heavy cream if you wish. Using cream you need to be careful to blend only a little on a lower speed or by hand to avoid the whipping the cream and forming a mousseline (basically a flavored whipped cream).

Yield: Around 1 cup
