Parsley Salad Recipes

PARSLEY SALAD

Steps:

• Wash and dry the parsley. Pick the leaves, and set aside. Discard the stems.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, zest, walnut oil, sesame oil, honey, and salt and pepper, to taste. Add the parsley and sesame seeds and toss to combine. Allow the salad to sit for at least 30 minutes before serving so that flavors meld.

PARSLEY AND ROMAINE SALAD

Steps:

• Take up a handful of the parsley and bunch it together, then slice into thin strips (chiffonade) by cutting across the bunch with a chef's knife. Repeat until all of the parsley is cut into chiffonade. Transfer to a salad bowl.
• Stack the romaine leaves and cut crosswise into chiffonade. Add to the salad bowl. Add the pine nuts, baguette croutons and chives.
• Just before serving, toss with the dressing.

PARSLEY SALAD WITH BARLEY, DILL AND HAZELNUTS

Steps:

• Bring about 3 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan and add the barley and salt to taste. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer 45 to 50 minutes, until the barley is tender. Drain and return the barley to the pot. Place a towel over the top of the pot and return the lid. Let sit for 15 minutes. Line a sheet pan with paper towels and place the cooked barley on top to cool. When cool, transfer to a large bowl.
• Cut the parsley leaves into fine shreds by gathering together a bunch of leaves, and cutting across the bunch with a chef's knife. Place in the bowl with the barley. Add the dill, celery, radishes and sumac.
• Place the toasted skinned hazelnuts in a plastic bag or a pastry bag and place on your work surface. With a rolling pin, roll over the nuts to crush them into halves. Don't crush them completely (but don't worry if your pieces are smaller than neat halves). Add to the bowl.
• Whisk together the lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste, the olive oil and the hazelnut or walnut oil. Toss with the salad and serve.

PARSLEY SALAD WITH FENNEL AND HORSERADISH

Steps:

• Toss fennel and parsley together in a medium bowl. Add lemon juice, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Season again with salt, pepper and more lemon juice if you like. (It should be fairly lemony.)
• Drizzle with olive oil, toss to coat and grate a bit of fresh horseradish over everything, gently tossing to distribute the horseradish. (Doing it this way prevents clumping.) Transfer to a serving bowl and grate more horseradish over before serving.
