It can include parsley, cilantro, watercress, mint, basil, chervil, or dill. And just about any fragrant leafy herb works in this recipe. The herbs you use depends on the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Occasionally edible flowers, such as chive blossoms or violets, are also added to the salad. Some cooks add the herbs to a bed of other leafy greens, such as lettuce, arugula, or bitter greens.&nbsp; The salad is typically served with a vinaigrette.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-key-ingredients\">Key Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In this herb salad recipe, we use a base of dandelion greens and watercress and add fresh parsley, chives, and chervil. However, you can add just about any herbs you like and have on hand. A garlicky vinaigrette works well to dress the salad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Dandelion greens <\/strong>are a bitter, nutritive herb that's rich in beta carotene, vitamin C, vitamin K, and minerals. <a href=\"https:\/\/nourishedkitchen.com\/dandelion-salad\/\">Dandelion salad<\/a> is delicious with a bitter note, but the greens also form a foundation for other herbs in this recipe. You can also cook dandelions, as in this <a href=\"https:\/\/nourishedkitchen.com\/wilted-dandelion-greens\/\">wilted dandelion recipe<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Watercress<\/strong> is a member of the mustard family. It has a peppery taste reminiscent of horseradish and is a nice partner for dandelion. It's also rich in vitamin K, vitamin C, and various minerals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Parsley<\/strong> has a clean, green flavor.&nbsp; It's also rich in beta-carotene and vitamin K, and is traditionally used to support the kidneys.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chervil<\/strong> has a delicate sweet flavor, and it tastes like a cross between tarragon and parsley.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chives<\/strong> bring a delicate onion-like flavor to the salad. Chives are rich in vitamin K. They also contain antioxidants called glucosinolates. These glucosinolates support cellular health in the same way as onions and garlic.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Garlic<\/strong> helps give body and flavor to the vinaigrette, and it also balances the bitter notes of the dandelion greens.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Extra virgin olive oil <\/strong>is the foundation of the vinaigrette. Olive oil contains a healthy mono-unsaturated fat. This helps you to absorb the fat-soluble micronutrients in leafy greens and herbs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Red wine vinega<\/strong>r brings a note of acidity to the vinaigrette. It's a natural match for robust herbs - especially dandelion and watercress.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dijon mustard<\/strong> helps to emulsify the vinaigrette, and it also partners well with watercress, chives, and parsley.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-recipe-tips\">Recipe Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Making any salad should be straightforward.&nbsp; There's plenty of latitude for experimentation and substitutions. But, there are a few things to keep in mind when you make an herb salad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Forage for wild herbs<\/em>, such as dandelion greens, in safe places. Stay away from roadways and fields sprayed with pesticides and other chemicals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Soak your herbs<\/strong> in a bowlful of cold water<strong>. <\/strong>&nbsp;Then dry them in a salad spinner. This will remove grit and other debris. It also helps keep them crisp and vibrant.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Discard bruised or discolored herbs<\/strong>. Clean your herbs thoroughly. Soak them in a bowl full of cold water. Then spin them dry in a salad spinner.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use what's available and in season<\/strong>. In the spring, that means dandelions, cress, and chives. In summer, you might opt for parsley, basil, and cilantro.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Run the garlic through a garlic press<\/strong> or mince it finely for a more uniform vinaigrette.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Thoroughly mix the ingredients for the vinaigrette<\/strong> so that it emulsifies effectively and becomes smooth. Adding them to a mason jar and shaking them thoroughly works, but so does running it through a high-speed blender.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-feast-inline-heading-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-goes-with-an-herb-salad\">What goes with an herb salad?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I like to serve this herb salad with crunchy sourdough croutons and thinly sliced grilled chicken.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It's also delicious served with a spring-inspired soup. <a href=\"https:\/\/nourishedkitchen.com\/carrot-leek-soup\/\">Carrot leek soup<\/a>.

Add the mustard and olive oil, shake, and serve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Garlic scapes<\/strong> are an excellent stand-in for the garlic cloves in this recipe. You'll find them at the farmer's market during spring. You can also mix them with basil and parsley to make an excellent <a href=\"https:\/\/nourishedkitchen.com\/garlic-scape-pesto\/\">garlic scape pesto recipe <\/a>that freezes well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dandelion greens<\/strong> may be too bitter. If this is the case, try butter lettuce or add watercress to the recipe.
