Add in the herbs and blend until incorporated. Taste for flavor, adding anything extra to suit your taste…more lemon?…more herbs?…more garlic, or onion powder? Chill before serving.

Salad shown consists of romaine lettuce, carrots, grape tomatoes, cucumbers and topped with cracked pepper. Just simple and delicious!
RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT: I have not made this in a regular blender. The NutriBullet (affiliate link) works great for small jobs like this. If using a regular size blender, you may want to double the recipe.
