Fresh Herb Salad<br />
This is a great complement for other more vegie-based salads or any dish that<br />
already has a lot of vegies and just needs some fresh, flavoursome greenery.<br />
Serves 4<br />
Ingredients<br />
• Bunch watercress<br />
• Bunch m<strong>in</strong>t, roughly chopped<br />
• Bunch coriander, picked <strong>in</strong>to pieces, not<br />
chopped<br />
• Bunch basil, roughly chopped<br />
• Toasted pepitas<br />
• Toasted sesame seeds<br />
• ½ tbsp Dijon mustard<br />
• Juice 1 lemon<br />
• 150mL extra-virg<strong>in</strong> olive oil<br />
Jo’s tip<br />
Be creative and use whatever fresh seasonal<br />
herbs you have that look good and don’t<br />
overpower other flavours.<br />
Method<br />
1. Comb<strong>in</strong>e watercress and herbs <strong>in</strong> large bowl.<br />
2. Mix together mustard, lemon juice and olive<br />
oil (use more or less oil depend<strong>in</strong>g on how<br />
much lemon flavour you like).<br />
3. Pour over salad a little at a time. You want<br />
the salad just lightly coated, not drenched.<br />
4. Toss through pepitas and sesame seeds.<br />
Keep<strong>in</strong>g herbs fresh<br />
When stor<strong>in</strong>g fresh herbs, they will last<br />
without wilt<strong>in</strong>g for up to a week <strong>in</strong> the<br />
fridge if you wrap them <strong>in</strong> newspaper,<br />
kitchen paper or a small teatowel and<br />
keep the paper or towel damp.<br />
