1 1/2 cups sour cream
1/2 cup buttermilk
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons snipped fresh chives
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh tarragon
2 cloves garlic, mashed
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons grated lemon zest
Drops of Tabasco or hot sauce to taste

Spring Mix Lettuce with Grape Tomatoes and Classic Blue Cheese Dressing
Serves 2
½# spring mix
1 clam grape tomatoes, halved
For the Blue Cheese Dressing and Assembly
Makes about 2 cups
Also great as a dressing for baked potatoes, pasta and potato salad, and as a sauce over grilled steak.
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 to 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups crumbled blue cheese (I’m partial to Maytag, or Point Reyes, but your favorite blue will work here)
1. In a mixing bowl, blend all the ingredients together, until well combined.
2. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or up to 1 week.
To Assemble the Salad
Arrange the greens on each salad plate, and arrange the grape tomatoes atop the greens. Top the tomatoes with the dressing and serve.
Purple Crispy Herb Roasted Potatoes
Serves 6
1 pound purple potatoes
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, sliced
2 tablespoons finely chopped thyme
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
One 11-ounce log goat cheese, crumbled
1. Place the potatoes in water to cover, and boil until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes.
2. In a skillet, cook the garlic in the oil, over medium heat, for about 10 minutes. Allow to cool, and remove the garlic slices. Stir in the thyme, salt, and pepper.
3. Do-Ahead: At this point, the potatoes and oil can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
4. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
5. Drain the potatoes, film the bottom of a 13-by-9-inch pan with some of the oil.
6. On a cutting board, smash the potatoes with the palm of your hand, and transfer to the prepared pan turning them in the oil.
7. Drizzle with the remaining oil, sprinkle with goat cheese, and bake uncovered for 20 to 30 minutes, until the potatoes are crispy and the cheese is bubbly.
8. Cook’s Note: Leave the skins on the potatoes if they are pristine; if they have a green tinge, peel that off, and proceed as directed.
Variation: Vary the cheese or leave it out if you prefer.
