Fabulous Sald Dressing! :-D
I'm a VitaNewbie and am having sooo much fun discovering new/old foods I love and Vitamix recipes. Who knew I loved spinach smoothies?! This recipe, like my going green smoothies, is absolutely delicious. Omg. I love salad dressing and was looking for a recipe to use with my Vitamix. I had all these ingredients, including organic balsamic vineger, and had to give this a shot. Delish!! Amazing taste and the lemon gives it a lovely little extra kick. I doubled it so I could add it all to a mason jar. Ooh, baby this is a keeper.
I. Love. My. Vitamix. And I've only had it 4 days now.

Great marinade!
The prep for this is a bit time consuming as it calls for quite a bit of fresh thyme (and that requires quite a bit of "de-leafing," so as a dressing it's not worth it. However, I prepared a double batch and used half as a marinade for my chicken tenders. I let them sit overnight and then poured chicken and marinade into a baking dish and baked for 45 minutes at 350. What came out of the oven had an incredible flavor and the parmesan created a moist "crust" over the chicken. I will stand in the kitchen for 20 minutes JUST to pluck thyme in order to make this marinade because it's that good.

Not sure
Lemon is overpowering, making it too bitter to my taste.
