French Salad Dressing with Lovage – This recipe comes from Erik. He made it up after discovering similar salad dressings when we were living in France shortly after we got married.
- Two parts vinegar (high quality white, apple cider or balsamic are all excellent options, classic French uses white wine vinegar).
- One part extra virgin olive oil (the higher quality, the better).
- About 3 tsp. of Dijon mustard per about 3/4 cup of the dressing. You can adjust to your own taste and desired consistency.
- Salt and pepper to taste.
- 1 heaping tablespoon of finely chopped lovage.
- Sugar or honey to taste, if desired.
- Optional: one finely minced garlic clove.
SHAKE WELL to get the full effect of all ingredients as you taste and tweak.
Old-Fashioned Lovage and Potato Soup // Uses Lovage, Onions, Potatoes // Vegetarian
(Add twice as much veggie stock and milk for a lighter soup.)
* You can also use lovage as a substitute for celery in pretty much any dish you’d like. You won’t need nearly as much of it as you would celery since it has a stronger taste. I substitute it for celery in my coleslaw, for instance.
Lovage is equally delicious chopped up and added to your favorite potato salad recipe.
