Herb dressing

Babiche Martens

It is always a pleasure to give — and receive — a truly useful present at Christmas, and this herb dressing is just that. It's great to have on standby over the entertaining season because it’s so versatile. Put it on an antipasto platter, toss through hot boiled new potatoes, or use to dress a salad.
