Lunch Tuesday 8 August - Last of the Pistou & Almond Pesto

I am now deep in the heart of the "why did I ever start this?" phase of redecorating - the place is even more of a shamble than usual with all the displaced crap pile up in the lounge.

But the hallway (now mostly finished) does look nice.

Lunch was last of the Pistou Soup with almond pesto (see entry 3 August) and a nice big salad of romaine, baby spinach, rocket & tomatoes with a Buttermilk Herb Dressing. Had the same thing yesterday with my Aubergine Marinara, so here is yesterday's picture:



Buttermilk Herb Dressing
250ml buttermilk
100g extra light mayonnaise
1 teaspoon mustard
20ml vinegar
1 teaspoon dill
1 teaspoon chervil
1 tablespoon chives
35g onion
2 cloves garlic
small handful flat leaf parsely
salt & pepper to taste

Whizz everything together in the blender Store in an airtight container--lasts 1 week in the 'fridge.

Makes about 500g of dressing (10 servings)
