Salad Herbs

When it comes to salads, lettuce is literally just the tip of the iceberg. Adding salad herbs to your mix of fresh greens and vegetables can really put some pizazz into what might otherwise be a dull mess of green stuff - especially when you get your bulk salad herbs from Starwest Botanicals.

Dried salad herbs from Starwest can be readily used in vinaigrettes or other salad dressings, or just sprinkled on. Popular salad herbs include many that you might not have considered, such as sorrel. Sorrel is sometimes eaten fresh as a sald green itself, but used as salad herbs, they can impart a tart, berry-like flavor. Salad Burnet, a member of the rose family, is another salad herb that has a slightly sweet flavor similar to that of cucumber.

One of the more exotic salad herbs is a native of the Mediterranean countries, known as eruca sativa, or arugula. This slightly sweet herb can add a peppery flavor to an otherwise bland salad; the seeds are also edible.
