Parsley Lemon Thyme

Parsley Lemon Thyme Vinaigrette with Roasted & Pickled Vegetables

Posted on September 7, 2021February 27, 2022 by Jen

A Bit of Simon & Garfunkel…

About the Recipe: Parsley Lemon Thyme Vinaigrette

While crafting this recipe, I could not stop thinking of the Simon & Garfunkel 1966 album Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme. Popular in folk music in the 1960s and with my parents, who I think owned every record! While this tangy, wonderful Parsley Lemon Thyme Vinaigrette doesn’t feature all of the herbs mentioned in the album, it is very tasty. Inspiration for this dish stems from some fresh thyme in my refrigerator and a fabulous meal we enjoyed at a local restaurant Sorghum & Salt. We enjoyed our experience at the chef’s counter and I cannot wait to go back.

A Bit of History:

I definitely could not conclude this post without at least one historical fun fact. While researching, I learned that the Greeks believed thyme conveyed strength and courage. Alas, you do not need to be brave to attempt this recipe, it comes together in a flash and the Parsley Lemon Thyme Vinaigrette complements a variety of roasted and pickled vegetables and grains. It would also be a fabulous salad dressing. For this particular dish, I roasted some golden beets, rainbow carrots, & cauliflower. Adding a pickled component, such as pickled sweet onions and pickled fennel provided a wonderful acidity to balance the dish. I happened to have Kamut, an ancient type of wheat grain that is similar to farro on hand to round out the dish for a complete meal! This is a great recipe to use as a starting point and create your own spectacular version.

Slow Food, Less Effort, 1 Ingredient at a Time

Are you striving to make a lifestyle change or looking to discover plant-focused recipes the whole family will love?

My name is Jen. I am a wife, mom, and a pharmacist. I love to cook for my family, hike, run, and read about history. I enjoy eating fresh, seasonal, locally available produce. In addition to endurance trail runs and long bike rides, I will happily set out on foraging hikes for mushrooms and truffles.

Waiting for the seasons to change, fruits to ripen, vegetables to mature, or truffles to reach their peak (7-11 years) is an endurance sport in itself.  Nonetheless, the time and effort spent is well worth crossing that finish line and enjoying a delicious, healthy meal.

I always say the slower you run, the more you enjoy the trail. Food is the same. Cooking together in the kitchen with freshly harvested fruits and vegetables is all about taking life slower and enjoying the process and experience. Plant-based, healthy food for the whole family with less effort, so you can slow down and enjoy life!
