Simple Herb Salad Mix Recipes

Steps:

• Separate 1 large head Bibb lettuce. Combine in a large bowl with 2 tablespoons each of torn basil, dill, parsley and mint. Toss with the juice of 1/2 lemon and 2 tablespoons olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• In a large, shallow bowl, whisk together the sherry and wine vinegars and salt.
• Whisk in the olive oil and pepper.
• Taste for seasoning.
• Add all the herb leaves and toss to evenly coat the greens with the dressing.
• Taste for seasoning.
• Serve in small portions as an accompaniment to roast chicken, or grilled or poached fish.

Steps:

• Add the dill, tarragon, parsley, basil and baby greens to a large salad bowl.
• Whisk together the shallot, champagne vinegar and Dijon mustard. Whisk in the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Dress the salad immediately before serving and toss.

Steps:

• Mix the juice, vinegar and honey with seasoning. Tip rest of the ingredients into a large mixing bowl, drizzle over the dressing and gently toss to serve.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together and chill for an hour.
• Adjust salt and pepper to taste just before serving.

Steps:

• Combine greens in a large bowl, along with parsley, cilantro and chives. Add mint or dill leaves, if you have them on hand. (It's fine if you don't, but the more the merrier.)
• Zest lemon over the greens, then halve and squeeze lemon juice all over everything. Season with flaky salt and plenty of freshly ground black pepper, and finish with a good drizzle of olive oil. The salad should be lightly oiled, and heavy on the flaky salt and lemon juice.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk the vinegar, oil, onion and seasoning until blended. Serve with salad greens.

Steps:

• In a large, shallow salad bowl, whisk together the vinegars and salt. Whisk in the oil and pepper. Taste for seasoning. Add all the herb leaves and toss to evenly coat the greens with the dressing. Taste for seasoning. Serve in small portions as an accompaniment to roast chicken or grilled or poached fish.
• Variation:
• The dressed salad can also be placed-open-face-sandwich fashion-on top of grilled bread that has brushed with olive oil.

Steps:

• Halve the chillies lengthways, getting rid of as many of the seeds as you want (this is where the heat is), then finely shred. Put in a bowl and sprinkle with a little water. Stir in the chopped herbs and pea shoots, then let everyone help themselves. Dress with oil and lime juice, if you like. Serve with Slow-roast shoulder of pork (see 'Goes well with') and Spiced yogurt with cucumber (see below), with flatbreads and bowls of harissa.

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.
