The one about salade aux fines herbes and the veggie thief

This was supposed to be a simple post about how to make salade aux fines herbes, the basic French salad with mixed herb dressing. 

It really is simple, just a basic vinaigrette with a mix of chopped parsley, chervil, chives, and tarragon - about equal amount except for a tiny bit less of the pungent tarragon.  

So I was just setting up a shot of the salad greens and herbs I just picked from the garden.

 

Then Miss Ella got a little interested and came to investigate.

 

Ok, perhaps a tad more than just a little interested.

 

And then....off she goes....

 

The little thief!

 

.....making a run for it!

 

...nom nom..

...nom nom nom...my name is Ella and I'm a vegetarian...nom nom

Happy Ella, contemplating stealing another leaf of lettuce I'm sure.

 

The End.

Oh, right, and how exactly does one make a salade aux fines herbes?  I guess that story can wait for another day.
