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
