    Any tender greens may be substituted for the edible leaves in this salad.

    Sorrel's vibrant color and bright lemon flavor have long been favored for delicate soups and sauces. It's also so natural in pesto, which can be spread on flatbread and topped with greens for an unexpected spring appetizer.
