Fresh Herb Platter (Sabzi Khordan)

• 1/2 cup walnuts
• Several sprigs each basil, dill, cilantro, mint, parsley, and tarragon
• 5 or 6 trimmed radishes, cut into wedges
• 6 to 8 green onions, trimmed
• About 1 cup diced feta cheese
• 1 1/2 tablespoons dried rose petals*
• 1 teaspoon crushed dried mint
• 1 cup diced feta cheese
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1. Soak walnuts in cold water for 4 to 6 hours to make them tender, sweet, and more digestible; dry before using.
2. Rinse and trim herbs and arrange on a platter. Add trimmed radishes and green on- ions, walnuts, and feta. Grind rose petals in a mortar and pestle or spice grinder and sprinkle over feta. Crumble dried mint between your palms over feta, then drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil.
3. Make ahead: Herbs may be prepped and chilled several hours in advance.
4. *Find dried rose petals at Middle Eastern markets, Latino markets, spice shops, or online. Grind to a powder in a spice grinder before use.
