Recipes for Salad Burnet

SALAD BURNET

(Sanguisorba minor)

Salad Burnet is a lovely perennial green with the dual purpose of looking pretty and tasting great.

Having a mild cucumber flavour, use the most tender new foliage in any salad recipe.

Rice Paper Rolls

use salad burnet instead of pea shoots

pick when needed, and won't be slimy from cool storage

Tea Sandwiches

Sliced Bread

Cream Cheese or Quark

Thinly sliced cucumber

salad burnet leaves

salt/pepper to taste (or diced dill, or dried sumac)

Spread a thin layer of cream cheese or quark onto bread slices

layer thinly sliced cucumber

top with salad burnet

(which will help reduce contact of cucumber on bread making it soggy)

salt and pepper last

(salt draws moisture from cucumber so best to add it last!)
