Fresh Herbs In Healthy Tossed Salads Of Andre Rochat, Patricia Wells and Giada De Laurentiis

It is important for a chef to concoct a salad dressing that can stand up to a combination of herbs without overpowering the flavors of all the whole food salad ingredients. In a fresh herb and vegetable salad by Andre Rochat, he uses a grand total of 8 fresh herbs of varying flavors, and 3 whole food ingredients. A simple olive oil dressing is livened up by stronger flavored condiments to stand up to the combined flavors of all the herbs. In yet another fresh herb salad, Patricia Wells uses only 5 herbs and a dressing of highly flavored olive oil is all there is to it. In addition, the fresh herb salad of Giada De Laurentiis, uses 5 herbs and pairs them with a leafy green and tossed in a specially blended olive oil dressing. Of the herbs used for a fresh herb salad by the 3 chefs, they avoid using 2 strong flavored herbs together at any one time; while they may use 2 to 4 types of the medium or delicate flavored herbs. All fresh herbs, however, must be chopped very fine. Most importantly, herbs is a deliciously healthy way to replenish your body's supply of antioxidants.
