Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 8

Ingredients

1 tablespoon cassis (black-currant) vinegar or other fruit vinegar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 cups fresh flat-leafed parsley leaves
2 cups fresh curly parsley leaves
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
1/2 cup fresh chervil leaves
1/2 cup fresh coriander leaves
1/2 cup small fresh basil leaves
the leaves from 2 fresh tarragon sprigs
edible flowers for garnish

Preparation

  1. In a small bowl whisk together the vinegar and salt and pepper to taste, add the oil in a stream, whisking, and whisk the vinaigrette until it is emulsified. In a bowl toss the herbs with enough of the vinaigrette to just coat them until the salad is combined well, divide the salad among 8 chilled salad plates, and garnish it with the flowers.

Oyster mushrooms are a strong all-rounder in the kitchen, seeming to straddle both plant and meat worlds in what they look and taste like when cooked.
