By: I'mPat

From the Ready Steady Cook Show in Australia. Suggested you serve with a salad or veal or chicken. If using as a dipping sauce serve with fresh vegetable e.g. carrot or celery sticks. There seems to be a general consensus that as it is it is bland but can be the basis for many different varities using different herbs and spices, examples given have been chives, basil or oregano. Please feel free to experiment.

Five stars! Totally five stars and let me explain why. There is something to this recipe. I used an herbal infused olive oil along with the lemon juice and spread this on a piece of toasted French bread. It was utterly delicious. I can see how this could be the base, as others have suggested, for a multitude of added ingredients from the flavors of France to the earthy spices of Mexico. Made for Ed'n 8 Aus/NZ

This is indeed a versatile recipe: a recipe which gives you the freedom to add your own favourite herbs and spices. On this occasion, I added rosemary and sage, because I very much like those two herbs together but also because I'm really enjoying a nifty little grinder with this blend in it that I bought a few days ago. I also added several grindings of black pepper and about half a dozen roughly chopped walnuts. We enjoyed this as the dressing for what could have been a simple egg and potato salad but ended up as a truly scrumptious one! Thanks for sharing this recipe, Pat. I'll certainly use it again because it is SO versatile.

A nice, easy and inexpensive dip base. I only used 1T lemon juice which was the perfect amt of tartness for me. Also added 1 tsp fresh chives, 1/2 tsp minced garlic and 1/2 tsp Greek Seasoning. Served with garlic, herb crackers for a great snack. Next time, i will use my lemon basil in this one!!!! Made for MAKE MY .

This was very quick and simple to make. It was a bit tart, but I didn't find it sour like the previous reviewer, although it did need a bit of 'something.' I added some garlic, Greek oregano, and a dash of sea salt and it perked up nicely. I think the magic about this recipe, though, is its versatility. With such an open-ended base you could add in a whole variety of herbs and spices to this and adapt it as needed to a wide range of dishes. I will definitely keep playing with it. Thanks so much for posting!
