Lettuce and herbs are everywhere this season! Let their freshness inspire your taste buds with every meal. “Fresh herbs can bring bright, assertive flavors to green salads. No chopping needed—just mix in whole leaves, including the stems if you’re using leafy varieties such as chervil or cilantro.” Here are a few perfect pairings that Martha Stewart suggests:
Chervil & Butter Lettuce: The subtle & delicate nature of chervil isn’t lost in the mix when matched with this tender green.
Italian Parsley & Leaf Lettuce: This earthy herb stands up to the hearty texture of red or green leaf lettuce.
Cilantro & Romain: A neutral and crunch lettuce like romaine works well with strong, citrusy cilantro.
Tarragon & Frisee: Match peppery chicories like frisee with powerful tarragon (including the blooms), which has hints of licorice.
Which have you tried and/or do you have a different take on a lettuce/herb pairing? If you don’t have fresh herbs growing at home, checkout this post on how to start an herb garden!
