SALAD BURNET – Sanguisorba minor

Salad Burnet’s delicate leaves have a subtle cucumber flavour, used to add interest to cold drinks. The leaves are used in salads and as a flavouring for sauces and vinegars, they make a useful addition to compound butters and once chopped can be folded through crème fraîche as an interesting flavouring for summer soups. Salad Burnet is wonderful for popping into cold drinks and lovely when combined with melon. A lovely addition to summer sandwiches and, unlike cucumber they don't make the bread soggy!

This hardy herb is easy to grow from seed and can be harvested early the first year, it is practically an evergreen with the base leaves keeping their colour throughout the winter. Salad burnet requires little attention; indeed it almost thrives on neglect with its ability to withstand sustained periods of dry weather.
