Parsley & Caper Dressing Ingredients
- 2 tbsp capers, drained
- Small bunch of flat-leaf parsley (approximately 1/2 cup finely chopped)
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
Instructions
- Chop ingredients: Finely chop the capers and flat-leaf parsley by hand using a sharp knife to release their flavors and ensure a pleasant texture in the dressing.
- Combine dressing: Transfer the chopped parsley and capers into a bowl. Add the Dijon mustard, olive oil, and red wine vinegar. Stir thoroughly to blend all ingredients evenly, creating a cohesive and flavorful dressing.
- Optional blending: For a smoother consistency, place all the ingredients into a mini chopper and blitz until you reach your desired texture, whether slightly coarse or completely smooth.
- Serve and store: Serve the dressing immediately with lamb chops and potatoes or refrigerate it in a sealed container. It will keep well chilled for up to three days, allowing the flavors to meld further.
Notes
- Use fresh flat-leaf parsley for the best flavor and color.
- If you prefer a less intense caper flavor, rinse capers before chopping.
- This dressing also works well as a marinade or a sauce for grilled vegetables and seafood.
- Keep refrigerated and use within three days for optimal freshness and safety.
- You can adjust the amount of olive oil or vinegar to taste depending on your preferred dressing consistency and acidity.
