How to cook it
-
Wash all the herbs and greens well and shake or spin dry.
-
Tear the lettuce into large pieces and pick the herb leaves from any thick stems.
-
Arrange everything on a large platter, piled loosely rather than chopped.
-
Set the platter in the middle of the table so each eater tears in their own handful, into their bowl or wrapped around grilled meat.
