wild salad

The leaves of the garden cress, with their delicate texture and fresh aroma, are the main ingredient of this refreshing salad. Start by washing the garden cress leaves well under a stream of cold water, ensuring that you remove any impurities or dirt. After washing, gently drain them and place them on a paper towel to absorb the excess water. In the meantime, take a few leaves of wild garlic, which add a subtle hint of garlic and a distinctive flavor, and cut them into larger strips, which will contribute to the crunchy texture of the salad.

In a large bowl, add the garden cress and wild garlic leaves, making sure they are evenly distributed. Now, it’s time to add the onion, which you can chop finely so that it blends perfectly with the other ingredients and adds a sweet note. The onion will provide a pleasant contrast to the slight bitterness of the garden cress. Then, take a few colorful and crunchy radishes, which you will slice into thin rounds to add a burst of color and a spicy flavor to your salad.

Once you have added all the ingredients, it’s time to dress them with a simple yet delicious dressing. Pour in extra virgin olive oil, which will provide a rich taste, and add a splash of vinegar to balance the flavors. Adjust the amount of salt to taste, being careful not to overdo it, as we want to maintain the delicacy of the flavors of the fresh ingredients.

Mix the salad well with a spatula or your hands, so that all the ingredients are evenly combined and absorb the dressing. This salad not only looks appetizing, but also spreads a wonderful aroma throughout the room. Serve the salad immediately alongside a main dish to complete the meal with a healthy and refreshing preparation. This combination of ingredients will not only delight your taste buds but also provide you with a generous intake of vitamins and minerals. Enjoy your meal!
