I’m new to making dressings, can this fresh mint and Lime dressing be stored? How long for? We are going camping for 15 days and would love to take it with us.

Yes, congrats on the 100th post! Deborah Madison (who comes from Davis, where I live) is one of my favorites. Her salads are magnificent! She has a real knack for creating fabulous dressings.

Katiez: I’ve never tried garlic chives but I’d like to try growing some! Now 106 sounds nice…it’s been much hotter than that the last couple of days! I wish I could just hop on a plane and go to France!

Doc Barleycorn: Thanks

A well balanced recipe. All the ingredients seem to mesh, and I look forward to trying it. Good work!

I use tons of chives for the same reason – nice onion flavor but not too strong. Garlic chives are good, too.
I like the idea of the mint and lime juice….must use more mint!
Good salad, congrats on the 100th and 106?!?!?
You must be getting all of my sunshine.. we’re barely seeing 70 here in the Vendee (France)

Ruby: Yes, it was!

Simona: The beach is only 20 – 30 minutes away but I’d rather go when it’s not quite so hot! Today it was 111 degrees! I’ve had good success with all the breads I’ve tried from Madison’s book…especially the pizza dough. I actually made focaccia from that book yesterday

Ulrike: I love that combination also in drinks!

I like the combination of lime and mint. That sounds refreshing!

Eating Sicilian gelato to keep yourself cool is not a bad idea. Can you get to the beach in reasonable time from where you live? Madison’s is also one of my favorite cookbooks. Yesterday I made her rye bread and it came out really nice: however, making bread means having the oven on, which is probably not great when it is already hot, so a salad is more suited for your weather. I hope the temperature goes down a bit.
