CILANTRO-AND-MINT SALAD



Cilantro-and-Mint Salad image

It's not just cilantro-and-mint salad, of course. There is parsley as well, and also arugula and baby lettuce: a jumble of herbs and soft greens lightly dressed with lime juice and oil. It's a terrific salad to serve as a foil to spicy food, or to sprinkle on a taco as kind of green-ish version of pico de gallo.

Categories     salads and dressings, side dish

Time 15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups cilantro leaves
1 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves
1 cup mint leaves
1 cup arugula leaves
2 cups mâche or other soft lettuce leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
3 tablespoons lime juice, or to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil, or to taste

Steps:

  • Wash the herbs and greens. Fill a large bowl or clean sink with cold water, and add the leaves. Swish them around to loosen dirt, then gently lift out and dry in a salad spinner or on clean kitchen towels. (You can do this up to a day ahead, refrigerating the dry leaves in sealed plastic bags or containers with a paper towel to absorb excess water.)
  • When ready to serve, whisk together the salt, pepper, red-pepper flakes, lime juice and olive oil in a small bowl, then check the seasonings. Put the leaves in a large bowl, drizzle the dressing over them and toss gently to coat. Serve immediately.

SALSA ROJA



Salsa Roja image

Most of the flavor in my homemade salsa roja recipe comes from dried mild chiles, like ancho, guajillo, and pasilla. Use this mild salsa on tacos or chips.

Provided by Jarrett Melendez

Time 45m

Yield Makes 4½ cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large white onion, halved
4 medium plum tomatoes (about 12 oz.), halved
1-2 serrano chiles
4 garlic cloves
3 oz. dried ancho, guajillo, and/or pasilla chiles, stems and seeds removed
½ bunch cilantro, tough stems trimmed, coarsely chopped
Juice of 1 lime
1½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or 1 tsp. Morton kosher salt; plus more (optional)
½ tsp. ground cumin
¼ tsp. ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Combine 1 large white onion, halved, 4 medium plum tomatoes (about 12 oz.), halved, 1-2 serrano chiles, 4 garlic cloves, and 3 oz. dried ancho, guajillo, and/or pasilla chiles, stems and seeds removed, in a medium saucepan, using fresh vegetables to weigh down dried chiles. Pour in water just to cover. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat. Cover and let sit until dried chiles are rehydrated and fresh vegetables are softened, 20-25 minutes.
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer vegetables to a blender; reserve soaking liquid. Add ½ bunch cilantro, tough stems trimmed, coarsely chopped, juice of 1 lime, 1½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or 1 tsp. Morton kosher salt, ½ tsp. ground cumin, ¼ tsp. ground cinnamon, and 1 cup reserved soaking liquid. Blend, starting on low speed and gradually increasing to high, until smooth, about 2 minutes. Taste salsa and add more salt if needed.

Tips:

  • Choose Fresh Herbs: Use fresh cilantro and mint for the best flavor. Look for herbs with vibrant green leaves and avoid any that are wilted or brown.
  • Balance the Ingredients: Adjust the amount of cilantro, mint, and jalapeno to suit your taste preferences. If you like a spicier salsa, add more jalapeno. If you prefer a milder salsa, reduce the amount of jalapeno or omit it altogether.
  • Use ripe tomatoes: Use ripe, juicy tomatoes for the best flavor. Avoid tomatoes that are green or have bruises or blemishes.
  • Chill before serving: For the best flavor, chill the salsa for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve with your favorite dishes: Cilantro salsa with mint is a versatile condiment that can be served with a variety of dishes. Try it with tacos, burritos, quesadillas, nachos, or as a dip with chips.

Conclusion:

Cilantro salsa with mint is a refreshing and flavorful salsa that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its vibrant green color and zesty flavor, this salsa is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
