Salad Burnet

S tier

Salad burnet is the everyday English name promising cucumber-flavoured leaves for the salad bowl—mild, cooling, and best uncooked or barely wilted. A staple of historical English salad herb lists. Mix with lettuce, soft herbs, and vinaigrette; avoid long cooking that kills freshness. Drought-tolerant plants keep producing if clipped. Distinct from medicinal great burnet traditions.
