The story behind this recipe
Untișor isn't just 'little butter'—it’s a type of salad, new to me as well, that fills the forests and markets this time of year; 1.5 lei for a bag with about two good handfuls of untișor.
I’m approaching this kitchen novelty timidly, and I’m going to try it as a salad, so as not to diminish its nutritional properties. By the way, you can find some of its properties [here](http://www.formula-as.ro/2011/966/medicina-naturii-44/salata-din-gradina-ursului-13652-print).
For the salad, I used:
2 handfuls of untișor
red radish
dill, parsley
green onion
soaked almonds
soaked walnuts
sesame seeds
soaked buckwheat
vinaigrette: lemon, salt, olive oil
hot pepper
fresh basil
It’s not bad! But (from my point of view) it doesn’t have a buttery taste at all. It just tastes like a regular salad :-)
Stay healthy, my dears!
