Herb Garden Salad
"Alain Passard is the chef-owner of the Parisian restaurant L'Arpege, awarded three Michelin stars, the highest possible rating from the most prestigious organization. He caused quite a stir when he "went vegetarian", as he can come from the classic French tradition of cooking with meat stocks. This salad is inspired by a dish he created when he entered his veggie phase. This is well suited for cooks who grown their own herbs or are able to purchase good quality fresh herbs from their farmer's market-otherwise it can be somewhat costly at a traditional grocery store. Rinse the herbs under cold running water, then spin them dry in a salad spinner. Carefully remove the leaves from the stems (don't cheat-use only the leaves, discard the stems). Use more herbs than lettuce. Nasturtiums (both leaves and flowers), cilantro, basil, and chervil are other herb suggestions. Adapted from Chef Virginia Willis' cookbook, "Bon Appetit, Y'All"."
