You can always ad a tiny dab of olive oil for a little fat and flavor which sticks to salad but still keep fat calories down. Both ways are really good, but do take a short amount of prep time.
*Herbes de Provence is made up of: savory, marjoram, rosemary, thyme and oregano. It's a nice blend. It's the flavors of Provence or Southern France.

If you like the flavor of fresh over dried but don't want to keep fresh herbs on hand, try the freeze dried herbs you can find nowadays. The freeze drying process retains more of their flavor, as far as I can tell.
