CILANTRO-AND-MINT SALAD

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.

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.
