Description: Join Food52’s Rick Martinez for a symphony of springtime flavor, a healthy and refreshing wedge salad. Spring onions are confited with lemon and garlic to bring out their subtly sweet flavor before melding with an array of fresh herbs including basil, mint, and parsley. This salad is elevated even further with homemade garlicky croutons and a medley of toasted seeds.
