Time 15m

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound assorted greens, carefully washed and dried (see note)
1 cup chervil and parsley sprigs, very loosely packed
1/3 cup light white-wine tarragon vinegar or fruit vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
1/3 cup light olive oil
1/3 cup vegetable oil
Salt and freshly ground white pepper to taste
1/2 cup herb blossoms, such as chervil, thyme, borage or sage combined with nasturtium petals or rosa rugosa petals

Steps:

  • Wrap the washed and dried greens in paper toweling and chill until ready to serve.
  • In a small saucepan, warm the vinegar and sugar over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Allow to cool.
  • Whisk the oils and seasonings into the sweetened vinegar.
  • In a large bowl, toss the greens and herb sprigs with enough vinaigrette to coat, and divide among four chilled plates.
  • Sprinkle the salad with the blossoms and petals and serve. Accompany the salad with lightly toasted thick slices of crusty Italian bread and any triple-cream cheese or Gorgonzola and Mascarpone torta.
