Herbs for vegetable salads

Even if the vegetables already have a great taste of their own, you can enhance their flavor by using the right spices and herbs. When preparing the salad dressing, only add the oil to the herbs, spices and other ingredients at the very end to ensure that the dressing is particularly creamy. This allows it to wrap itself around the salad and develop its full taste in the mouth.

  • For a coleslaw you can choose between caraway, cumin, chives and parsley. If you also want to use coriander, both coriander leaves and ground coriander are suitable.
  • Caraway, cumin and ground coriander go well with a winter vegetable salad. For a summer salad you should also use chives, sage, thyme, parsley, garlic or even basil.
