This thyme vinaigrette is meant as an easy flavor booster for drinks, lunch, or a small table full of bites. The base comes together quickly, and you can easily adjust the flavor with oil, herbs, acidity, or extra crunch.
It’s better to keep the texture a little coarse rather than completely smooth. That way the dip or spread stays pleasant to scoop and you taste the ingredients better.
