What To Look For:
Look for small, soft leaves. (The bigger the leaves are, the more peppery and hot they become.)

Best Uses:
Often used in salads. Its warm flavor is good with olives, hard-cooked eggs, grilled onions, and salty cheeses. Use vinaigrettes with strong acids, such as sherry vinegars, lemon juice, or aged red wine.
