Herbs

Fresh herbs, whether basil, dill, cilantro, parsley, and so on, are so much more than just a fancy green garnish – they’re one of the easiest ways to bring brightness and depth to everyday meals while also boosting the nutritional profile a bit.

On this page, you’ll learn how to use fresh herbs like a pro in your culinary adventures, from zesty dressings and sauces to salads, soups, and more.

Don’t have fresh herbs on hand? No problem. Head to your dried herbs cabinet because I have ideas for using those, too. Did you know you can steep directly in hot water to make homemade calming herbal teas? Who would have thought!
