Salad burnet, Sanguisorba minor is a perennial herbaceous plant in the Rosaceae (rose) family. It is a native of western, central and southern Europe, northwest Africa and southwest Asia and grows to about 50cm tall. It is typically found in dry grassy meadows, often on limestone soils. It is drought tolerant, and grows all year around.



As the name suggests it is used most commonly used as an ingredients in salads and has a mild cucumber flavour. Typically the young leaves are used as the leaves tend to become bitter with age. Because of its cucumber notes it is also used as a herb in dressings and can be used in vinaigrettes or finely chopped to add to yoghurt in other dressings. It can also be used instead of mint in many recipes and is an excellent herb to use as an accompaniment with fish.
