It’s fruity like rhubarb, tarty like lemon and green like spinach. Spring sorrel has an absolutely amazing complex flavour. And it’s wonderful pairing for fatty salmon and avocado. Salmon-sorrel combo was invented by legendary nouvelle cuisine pioneer Pierre Troisgros. His famous recipe “Salmon in sorrel sauce” now became a classic.
I really enjoy spring sorrel this season, we have such a wonderful bush of sorrel in our garden. It has dull color when cooked, so I decided to use raw sorrel. The salad turned out fabulous, hope you will enjoy it too!
