1 teaspoon thyme
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon finely chopped onion or scallion
1 tablespoon parsley, finely chopped
3/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup flavored vinegar (such as tarragon)

Combine all the ingredients in a blender. Mix until all ingredients are well blended. Pour over salad. Makes 1 1/4 cups, and keeps in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
