From . Fresh parsley, dill or chives can replace borage if it is unavailable. I wasn't sure what type of onion to use in the salad as it wasn't specified but for color I chose red. If it's another type of onion, kindly let me know and the recipe will be updated. Thanks! May I remind you?: Fresh ingredients-the best you can get. Ingredients:
1 head lettuce (i used butter lettuce mixed with red loose leaf lettuce however any heirloom lettuce would be ideal) |
1 cup watercress (rocket) or 1 cup arugula (rocket) |
1 small red onion, diced |
8 -10 small red radishes |
3 tablespoons fresh borage leaves, chopped (and a few borage flowers if available) |
freshly grated black pepper |
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar |
1 pinch salt |
2 tablespoons oil (i used walnut) |
Directions:
1. Wash the lettuce and watercress well and spin dry.
2. Prepare the dressing in a non-reactive container and set aside. Best prepared at least 1 hour in advance.
3. Combine the salad ingredients together in a large salad bowl with the dressing. Toss to coat.
4. Garnish with additional borage leaves and flowers.
5. fyi: A sprinkle of freshly grated black pepper tasted really good on the salad.
