Ethnic Sensations

April 2022
An homage to Iran's light, spring salads, this dish is what I crave after the heavy foods of winter. Bright, “herb-centric,” and versatile, this salad hits all the right flavor notes with its unusual combination of tender greens, creamy feta, marinated green olives, raisins, walnuts, spicy radishes, savory onions, and fresh herbs (mint, tarragon, parsley, dill and chives).

This dish uses the culinary techniques of top Austrian chefs for the potato prep, but for the dressing, I prefer a creamy green onion and toasted brown coriander seed dressing. The acid is white balsamic vinegar, which adds just enough sweetness to both temper and complement the green onion.
