There's always thyme to make some salad dressing.

Chances are, if you like Lebanese, Indian, Spanish or Greek cooking, you have tasted or used thyme. These teensy leaves pack a flavorful punch, especially if fresh.

For my herb growing friends, early spring is the best time to plant indoors. Full sun and a light soil will ensure a healthy plant. I will be planting my first seeds this weekend. Hopefully it will look like this:


Then I can make lots of this:

Lemon Thyme Dressing

What you need:
Juice of 1 lemon (if you don't like as much lemon, feel free to use only half the lemon)
1 tsp Dijon or horseradish mustard
4 Tbsp of olive oil
1 shallot
1 garlic clove
2-3 sprigs of fresh thyme (dried thyme will not work)
Fresh ground pepper
Dash of paprika
1/4 tsp lemon zest

What you do:
Whisk ingredients together, chill and serve over a salad. Or be daring and drizzle over some baked sweet potatoes.
