Description

A refreshing and vibrant tart made with a crisp puff pastry base, topped with a medley of fresh greens, bouncy herbs, and a zesty vinaigrette—perfect for spring or summer entertaining.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 2 cups mixed salad greens (arugula, baby spinach, etc.)
  • 1/4 cup fresh herbs (mint, dill, parsley, chives), roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup radishes, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled feta or goat cheese (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for dressing)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roll out puff pastry and transfer to the baking sheet. Score a 1-inch border around the edge and prick the center with a fork.
  3. Brush the border with beaten egg and drizzle the center lightly with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  4. Bake for 15–18 minutes or until golden and crisp. Let cool completely.
  5. In a bowl, combine salad greens, herbs, radishes, cucumber, and cheese if using.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss with salad mixture.
  7. Spoon salad mixture over the cooled tart base just before serving.

Notes

  • Assemble just before serving to keep the pastry crisp.
  • Use any combination of fresh, soft herbs for the best flavor.
  • Add avocado or cherry tomatoes for extra color and taste.
