Cooks Notes:

To cut down on preparation time, rough chop the herbs and the vegetables and put in the work bowl
of a food processor or blender.  Add the vinegar, the salt, and the pepper.  Whorl about 15-20 seconds. 
With the motor on, slowly add the oil and process until well combined.  Use right away or cover and
refrigerate for 2 - 3 days. 

Serving Suggestions

Marinate chicken, fish, or shellfish in the refrigerator for several hours before grilling.  Brush with
additional marinade the last few minutes of grilling.

To use as a dressing for a chilled vegetable salad, increase the oil to 3/4 cup and continue processing
in food processor long enough for the oil to emulsify.
