Ingredients:

• Handful each of marjoram and parsley

• 1/4 c green onions (or substitute 1/2 cup chives)
• 2 garlic cloves, minced or crushed
• 1 T honey
• Salt & pepper, to taste

Add marjoram and parsley to a food processor and pulse until finely chopped (you can also use a chef’s knife to finely chop).

Add vinegar, oil, water, green onions, garlic and honey. Whir in processor until combined, or use a whisk, a little muscle and some elbow grease.

Makes about 2 cups.
