SUND by Amy

Pure summer in a bowl: tomatoes, nectarine, corn straight off the cob, cucumber, greens. 🍅🍑🌽🥒

But the real star is the dressing. Basil, garlic, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, lemon - blended smooth, perfectly GREEN, drizzled over everything. A simple salad is not at all simple anymore! 🍃❤️

Herb dressing (makes 6-8 servings, halve it like I did for this batch if you’d like!):

4 dl / 1½ cups chopped fresh herbs (basil, parsley, cilantro, chives - whatever you have)
1 garlic clove
1 dl / ⅓ cup olive oil
0.5 dl / 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 lemon, juice and zest
½ tsp salt
Black pepper

Blend everything until smooth and bright green. Done!

Top salad with your favorite protein - we did grilled shrimp and fresh mozzarella. 🍤

This is exactly the kind of dressing that makes everything in your fridge feel worth eating and it’s one of MANY recipes in Sund Smak, my e-book full of dressings, dips and sauces. It’s been Swedish-only so far, but I’m working on an English version too! 🤗☀️🌼
