My friend Sara used to joke that salad is “foods’ food” as she tucked into a steak after a grueling workout. Between us friends, I have to admit, this salad is particularly grassy. In place of the typical cucumber+pepper+lettuce combo, this sunny, sharp mix of greens is all about the leaves. The flavors are unexpected – bold mint, garlicky chives, almost-sweet toasted walnuts – but drizzled with peppery extra-virgin olive oil and bright lemon juice, it tastes just right.
