Anytime I begin with one of my 5-Ingredient Salads, things can only get better and more interesting depending on the current additions. This time, I added mung bean and lentil sprouts, pistachios and a couple pulled-apart chive flowers. The entire chive is edible, and the flowers are often overlooked for an amazing onion-y pop of flavor, as well as their pale violet color and delicate beauty.
The other wonderful, surprise, addition to this salad was the dressing. . .
I combined equal parts of ranch dressing and coriander (cilantro) chutney. Ohhh my. . .so much freshness! However, be aware, there are Serrano peppers in the chutney, so depending on your heat preferences, you may not need to add black or cayenne pepper. After I dressed the salad I realized another great, flavorful addition, would have been a finely minced, crushed, fresh garlic clove.
Mmmm . . . It's Salad Season!
Have fun with them! . .Lin
