The story behind this recipe
Untișor isn't some pampered butter, but a type of salad green—new to me as well—that currently fills the forests and markets. A small bag with about two good handfuls of untișor costs 1.5 lei.
I am approaching this kitchen novelty timidly, and I'm going to try it in a salad to avoid diminishing its nutritional properties.
For the salad, I used:
2 handfuls of untișor
red radish
dill, parsley
green onion
hydrated almonds
hydrated walnuts
sesame seeds
hydrated buckwheat
vinaigrette: lemon, salt, olive oil
hot pepper
fresh basil
It's not bad! But, in my opinion, it doesn't taste buttery at all. It tastes like a regular salad :-)
Stay healthy, my dears!
