Sabzi Khordan or "Eating Greens"

Sabzi khordan or “eating greens” is a term given to fresh herbs that complement most Persian dishes and is a lively alternative to green salads.  It consists of fresh mint (na’ana), cilantro (ghishniz), flat-leaf parsley (jafari), sweet basil (reyhan), watercress (sha’ahi), radish (toropche), and spring onion (piazche).  Simply remove stems, rinse, strain, and store in the refrigerator in a salad spinner.  I double up on basil, but you're in charge of the proportions here folks.  Basil.  Basil.  Basil.
