SOFT HERB SALAD



Soft Herb Salad image

In addition to how nice it looks, the beauty of this herb salad is that it can be as sweet or as pungent as you like, served in a big heap as a fresh first course, or a small pile as a refreshing side dish, or as a palate cleanser with a cheese course. It is especially energizing when served alongside heavy winter feasts:The leaf-green herbs, pink peppercorns and buttery golden almonds perk up the browns of roasts and braises. Picking the herbs and cleaning them is a finicky task, but can be done a day or two before.

Categories     salads and dressings, appetizer, side dish

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings (can be doubled)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups cilantro leaves
1 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves
1 cup small dill sprigs
1 cup basil or mint leaves
1 cup arugula leaves
2 cups purslane, mâche or hearts of Boston lettuce leaves
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup sliced almonds
Salt and coarsely ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon red chile flakes or 1/2 teaspoon crushed pink peppercorns (optional)
3 tablespoons lemon juice, more to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil, more to taste

Steps:

  • Up to a day before serving, wash the herbs and greens: Fill a large bowl or clean sink with plenty of cold water. Immerse the leaves, swish around to loosen any dirt, then gently lift out. Dry in a salad spinner or by spreading them on clean kitchen towels. (If working ahead, refrigerate the dry leaves in sealed plastic bags or containers. Add a paper towel to each bag to absorb excess water.)
  • Melt butter in a frying pan until it sizzles. Add almonds. Sauté over low heat, until the almonds are golden and the butter is browned. Lift out almonds and drain on paper towels, reserving butter. (Butter can be kept for 1 day. Melt and cool again before assembling salad.)
  • When ready to serve, place greens in a large bowl. Add salt, pepper, chile flakes, almonds, cooking butter, lemon juice and olive oil. Toss gently and season to taste, then serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs offer more intense flavor than dried herbs. Choose herbs that are brightly colored and fragrant, and avoid any that are wilted or bruised.
  • Chop the herbs finely: Finely chopped herbs will distribute their flavor more evenly throughout the salad.
  • Use a variety of herbs: Use a mix of herbs to add complexity to the flavor of the salad. Some good combinations include parsley, chives, tarragon, and thyme; basil, oregano, and rosemary; or mint, cilantro, and dill.
  • Dress the salad lightly: A simple vinaigrette dressing is all you need to enhance the flavor of the herbs. Use a ratio of 3 parts oil to 1 part vinegar, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the salad immediately: Herb salads are best enjoyed fresh. The herbs will wilt if they sit for too long, so serve the salad as soon as possible after making it.

Conclusion:

Herb salads are a refreshing and flavorful addition to any meal. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a variety of herbs to choose from, you can create a unique salad that is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a healthy and delicious side dish, give a herb salad a try.
