Herbes de Provence and Greens

One of the most reached for spice jars in my spice cupboard is Herbes de Provence. If you have not yet included this jar of spices into your life I highly suggest you do so. Herbes de Provence originated in France and usually comes dried. The aromatic mixture includes: Rosemary, Thyme, Bay Leaf, Basil, Marjoram and Lavender.

Although there are many uses for Herbes de Provence, one use is to make a delicious and quick salad dressing:

• A couple glugs of Olive Oil
• Balsamic Dressing
• A pinch of Herbes de Provence

Dress up a handful of greens with the dressing and top with shaved parmesan flakes. The dressing is also great for dipping warm and very crusty bread into. And please don't forget to pour yourself a glass of red wine.
