Oyster Salad with Perilla Leaf
Notes
20231025, #breakfastdiary 877, 12°C/partly cloudy, 21min/exercise(Y)
Perilla leaf is a strongly scented herb, but it pairs beautifully with the ocean aroma of oysters. Best of all, it has far more character than baby greens.
Add pink peppercorns for visual pleasure, lemon juice, and just a touch of olive oil - no salad is complete without it - and the flavor becomes spectacular.
Oh, and if you find it a bit bland, I recommend pairing it with whole grain mustard. The umami goes up a hundredfold 🆙
