Tips for Using Fresh Herbs

It is generally best to add fresh herbs to the dish right before serving to retain their flavor and appearance.

When using fresh herbs in lieu of dried, triple the amount the recipe calls for.

To clean fresh herbs, immerse them in a large bowl of cool, salted water. The salt will drive away bugs without damaging the plant.

Thoroughly dry fresh herbs before chopping, or they will bruise and become discolored.

Chop fresh herbs finely to release more oils and maximize flavor.
