Thank you for this article! I've been thinking about what to do with herbs when I buy a bunch for a recipe and the rest is left over, like should I make a point of using herbs every day? So I set your article aside for when I could relax and enjoy it slowly, and I just did. Thank you so much.

About Moroccan carrot salad, it's popular in Israel, where it is made with cooked carrots, and flavored with cumin, hot pepper and cilantro; I sometimes add dried cranberries too.

Thank you!

Do you make a point of using herbs almost every day?

I'm not super stringent about it, but that's pretty much what happens since I put them on everything :)

Too many people just scatter on the herbs as a garnish, which is such a waste. Well, they do look pretty, but it's a waste of their potential.

We regularly do a simple salad that we load up with at least 7-8 types of herbs, then dress with nothing but lime juice and sea salt. We also add some to jams and custards near the end of their cooking time - lifts them no end 😊

Oh it's a big crowd pleaser - but a bit expensive if you're buying it all from the store. If you grow your own, then go all in 😋.
