Ingredients




1 lrg bowlful of salad and herb leaves (See Note)
Basil leaves
1 bn chives cut into three wide shavings of parmesan (us
Extravirgin olive oil
Mature balsamic vinegar
1 pch salt
black pepper

Preparation

1 *Such as young spinach watercress rocket and flatleaf parsley soaked in icecold water for 20 minutes and thoroughly drained (this will then keep well refrigerated in a cling film covered bowl until needed) 2 Add the basil to your chosen leaves season and dress with a dash each of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Scatter on the parmesan and chives. 3 Don't make a green salad that's not green. If you want to be purist about it resist adding slices of cucumber. And if you want to be ultra purist restrict yourself to one type of leaf only: rocket for example. I favour a more moderate path largely because there is often something else in the fridge that needs using up. 4 Serves 4
