• 1 Teaspoon fresh thyme

• 1 garlic clove minced

• Pinch of sea salt

Mix garlic, rosemary and thyme together using a pestle.  Add this mixture and all other ingredients to a bowl and mix well.  If you do not have a pestle you can add all the ingredients to a blender or food processor.  Store in an airtight container in the fridge.  Let sit for a couple hours if you have the time to allow the flavors to really come together.  This will last up to a week in the fridge.

If you like a thicker dressing you can add a tablespoon of Tahini.

If you like a little spice, add some crushed red pepper flakes.
