Remarks
The more different herbs you use, the more interesting your dressing will taste, so why not try chervil, tarragon, thyme, etc.?

Using lime instead of lemon is also a twist well worth trying.

For a lighter version, use beaten cottage cheese instead of cream.
Keeping: 1 or 2 days in the fridge, covered with plastic film.
