TO PREPARE THE DRESSING

Start with your shallot, remove outer skin. With a grater, using the finest holes, grate your shallot to a paste-like consistency. Be sure to wipe shallot from grater thoroughly as most of the paste may stay on the grater - set aside.

In a bowl, big enough for all ingredients, start by adding your Greek yogurt and mix until smooth.
4
Add shallot paste and 1 tablespoon of Blake Hill’s Lisbon Lemon Jam, mix thoroughly.
5
Finally slowly pour in Wild Mint Shrub, folding into the mixture until fully incorporated. Mix in chives if you prefer a bolder onion flavor and for great color.
6
Use immediately or store in the fridge for up to a week. Dressing may stiffen in fridge, simply stir before serving and add more shrub to desired consistency.
