Herbal Salad Sensations


         When fresh herbs come to mind, we typically think of only using them to season tomato sauces, iced teas, and grilled or baked entrees. Now step out of that box. This is a salad issue, after all, isn't it? And what do most herbs consist of? Leaves! Beautiful, flavorful leaves.

You could base an entire salad around a blend of leafy lettuce and herb leaves. Some herbal leaves are just too overpowering in taste or texture to be used in quantity. These work well just as accents to give the salad pizzazz. Then, come the flowers. For stunning, exotic looking salads, toss in a few colorful edible flowers. They will not only add amazing beauty, but they will also create fun flavor and textural impressions. The following lists will help you choose appropriate herbs for any salad sensation you wish to create:
