When you live in a country where it is eternal summer, you need to be creative with your salad dressings, trust me :)
The super easy dressing I share below can work with many salads (potatoes, pasta, ..) and this time I paired it with white beans and fresh veggies to get a balanced protein and fibers packed light lunch. The little trick in this dressing is the use of SUMAC, a dried red powder coming from a bush bay and which is mostly used in Middle Eastern cuisine. It's lightly astringent and brings a nice tart twist when sprinkled on houmous or roasted veggies. Really worth trying !
Recipe just below. Enjoy !
Herby Sumac dressing
60 ml Olive oil
A good handful chopped coriander (15grs)
A good handful chopped mint (15grs)
The zest of a medium sized organic lemon
4 tbsp lemon juice
1 crushed garlic clove
Start with 0,5 tsp sumac and add more according to taste (I put 1 tsp)
Sea salt and pepper to taste
Mix well everything (you can use your blender for a smoother texture) and use as a dressing on potatoes salad, beans salad, pasta salad. Always remenber to mix carbs, grains (proteins) and fresh veggies in your salads. And colors !!
This dressing can be kept for 2 days in the fridge but better used on the day it was made (herbs will not look as nice:)
