Salad with Parsley and Romaine Lettuce

Spread the love

Oftentimes I’ll use parsley as a salad green, either using the leaves whole, or opting to cut them into a chiffonade (as done in this delicate salad.) Dressed with a simple vinaigrette, or a simple combination of 1tbsp lemon juice & 3tbsps olive oil (extra virgin) – either way, this is deliciously moreish!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves (tightly packed)
  • 1 romaine lettuce heart
  • 1 tablespoon pine nuts (toast lightly)
  • 4 thin slices stale or toasted baguette (rub with cut garlic clove, and dice into small squares)
  • 1 tablespoon chives (minced)
  • ¼ cup dressing of choice, a mustard vinaigrette suits, as does a simple lemon vinaigrette (1tbsp lemon, 3tbsps extra virgin olive oil – whisk together and season with salt)

  1. Bunch together a handful of parsley, and chiffonade (slice into thin strips) by cutting across the bunch. Repeat until all your parsley is cut, and then transfer into a large salad bowl.

  3. Toss with the dressing just before serving.
