Ingredients

1/4 cup white wine vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more for seasoning
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 bunch flat-leaf parsley, stemmed (about 3 cups)
1 bunch fresh basil, stemmed (about 3 cups)
1 bunch fresh chives, chopped
1 bunch fresh tarragon, stemmed (about 1/2 cup)
1 cup arugula leaves
1 fennel bulb, halved, cored, and thinly sliced
Edible flowers, for garnish

Directions

In a blender or food processor, combine the vinegar, mustard, honey, salt, and pepper until well mixed. With the machine running, gradually add the olive oil until the dressing is smooth and creamy. Set aside.

In a large bowl combine the herbs, arugula, and fennel. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss the salad with enough dressing to coat. Sprinkle with edible flowers and serve.

Strong
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I tried this salad last night and it was far too strong. The basil and fennel simply overpowered in both taste and scent. ... The dressing, however, was excellent and I will make that part for other salads.Read more
