Pimpernel

Pimpernel is a light, grassy herb with small, scalloped leaves and a clean flavor that hints at cucumber. It slips easily into salads, sandwiches, and chilled drinks without taking over the dish. The youngest leaves taste the brightest, so use them raw when you want that crisp bite and fresh aroma. It blends well with creamy dressings, soft cheeses, herb butters, and simple egg dishes. It’s a quiet herb, but it lifts a plate with an easy, garden-fresh touch.
