Ok. I'm harvested some butter crunch lettuce today and I'm going to add rosemary to my salad. I've got dill too. Oh boy.

Fresh rosemary is pretty strong stuff .. I don't know if I would add it to salad per say , perhaps a dressing .. dill and rosemary dont marry well in my honest opinion .. maybe lemon and dill ..
rosemary is great in spaghetti pasta sauce .. for chicken or turkey etc .. but way to strong to eat alone .. just saying .. Hats off for trying .. Don't be disappointed if you don't like it tho .. I think its too strong for your application

Gidday
We use loads of parsley. I often put thyme in most things too and rosemary in our mutton roasts ofter too.
"roesmary is a wild nutrient boost period."
Scuse my ignorance but what do you mean by that?

Its like any thing with cooking or food prep. let your common sense prevail, Its easy to add more flavor but almost impossible to back peddle. More isnt allways better for myself. In one of my previos postings it was stated about rosemary being a strong aromatic herb to go slow with is at first,So all in all a little goes a long way. Mature Dill isnt one of those I prefer to accent foods ITS THE YOUNG TENDER PLANTS. Please remember greens are the primary component in a salad, the rest of the ingredients are ment to only to compliment your creation. So if you dont like one as with many folks try another. There is no such thing as a failed experiment-THOMAS EDISON -
