There’s nothing that puts you in a good mood like a summer herb picked fresh from a backyard garden. It’s why this sunny herb salad is able to bring a smile to any face.
We substitute a quarter of the greens you’d find in a regular salad with whole fresh herbs, creating a backdrop that’s filling, flavorful, and anything but boring. Served with a creamy, garlicky dressing and sprinkled with crunchy radishes, you’ll find yourself turning to this go-to again and again.
Fresh is best. Use herbs and greens harvested from your own backyard. Trust us, it’s worth it!
Thinly sliced means thinly sliced. Radishes can be polarizing, since they are often thought to have an unpleasant earthy flavor. In reality, they’re just not being sliced thin enough. You should be able to see through your radish slice in this recipe. If you aren’t so steady with a knife, try using a mandolin.
Go dairy-free. We love greek yogurt, but if you are avoiding dairy, it’s no issue. Substitute mayo (really, it’s dairy-free!) or vegan yogurt for the lactose-free crowd.
Get creative. We love a riff! Swap out our suggested herbs for dill, mint, or cilantro, throw in some tomatoes or avocado or get crazy on adding spices like paprika and cumin in your dressing. This is one recipe you can really make your own.
