Farm Salad with Herbs & Honey Dressing

More herb than leaf — the farm dressing makes it sing.

Ingredients

  • 2 bags (200g total) of our mixed salad leaves
  • Large handful each of flat-leaf parsley and basil
  • Small handful of chives, finely chopped
  • Half a cucumber, thinly sliced
  • For the dressing: 2 tbsp raw wildflower honey, 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 6 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, salt and pepper

Method

  1. Make the dressing: whisk together the honey, cider vinegar and mustard. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until emulsified. Season generously.

  2. Wash and dry the salad leaves thoroughly. Dry leaves hold dressing better than wet ones.

  3. Tear the parsley and basil roughly — don't chop, or they'll darken.

  4. Combine the salad, fresh herbs and cucumber in a large bowl.

  5. Dress lightly just before serving — use about half the dressing first and add more to taste. Toss gently.

  6. The remaining dressing keeps in a jar in the fridge for up to a week and is excellent on roasted vegetables too.

Cook's notes

The secret to this salad is treating the herbs as ingredients, not garnish. Use as much parsley and basil as you have leaves. Our mixed salad bag already contains edible flowers and baby herbs, which makes this particularly beautiful.
