My Version
This dish is a salad of mixed herbs and greens dressed with oil and vinegar. The mix I use for this starts with green leaf lettuce and spinach. To that mix I added sage, parsley, leeks, rosemary, water cress (garden cress wasn’t available), garlic chives, arugula (purslane wasn’t available), and mint. This was dressing with olive oil and red wine vinegar and salted to taste just before serving.
