How to Make Herbaceous Salad

Ingredients

• ¼ cup coconut vinegar or white wine vinegar
• 2 teaspoons Swerve confectioners’-style sweetener or equivalent amount of liquid or powdered sweetener
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
• ½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
• ½ cup MCT oil or extra-virgin olive oil

• 3 cups fresh basil leaves (preferably purple basil)
• 3 cups fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
• 2 cups arugula leaves
• ½ cup fresh tarragon leaves
• ½ cup chopped fresh chives

To make the dressing
1. Place the vinegar, sweetener, mustard, salt, and pepper in a small food processor or blender and pulse until blended. With the machine running, slowly add the oil until the mixture is well combined and velvety. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine the basil, parsley, arugula, tarragon, and chives. Add the dressing and toss to coat. Best served fresh.
