Author Notes
This is a quick and easy way to throw together a really satisfying salad meal. You can use a variety of greens for the salad and herbs in the dressing. I chose basil, parsley and fennel fronds because I had them on hand, but this would also work well with various combinations of dill, tarragon, cilantro or chervil. —savorthis
