Notes
- The flavor of your dressing depends on the type of herbs used, the size of your garlic clove, and how sweet you prefer your dressing. Feel free to taste and add more herbs, salt, pepper, and maple syrup to suit your tastes.
- This recipe makes about 10 ounces of dressing and varies depending on the exact size of your zucchini.
- Leftover salad dressing will keep for 3 to 4 days in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator.
- Use any variety of fresh herbs that you enjoy. If you don't have any fresh herbs on hand, substitute with ¼ of a small sweet onion or two green onions.
