Stage 5

Your cream and herb dressing is ready. Keep refrigerated until use.
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.
