Its lemony flavor dissipates quickly when it is cooked, but we love to use it in spring salad dressing: take a large handful of fresh lemon balm leaves, some fresh chives and/or garlic shoots, lemon juice, olive oil and a little salt, and blend well. We love this over early spring greens as a side dish for salty meats like ham, or egg dishes like fritatta or quiche. It also goes well over finely grated beets for a fresh beet salad.
