SUMMER FLOWER SALAD
Nasturtiums add a peppery taste to a green or mixed salad and a flash of contrasting color. This is an attractive summer salad, rich in vitamin C, and can be eaten as a first course or on its own. I use other summer flowers in bloom too(red clover, cosmos,marigolds,pinks,roses, etc.). In the ingredients, it says nasturtium petals, but I actually use whole flowers along with petals.

Steps:
- The nasturtium flowers should be fresh, unblemished and unsprayed. Do not wash them if possible, as the petals bruise easily. Check in the long horn at the back for insects and pick off the stem.
- Mix the flowers with the lettuce leaves.
- Shake the dressing ingredients together and mix with the salad just before serving. Serves 6.

- You basically have two options - you can buy them, or grow them. If you buy them, be sure to seek out organically grown flowers free of any spray or pesticides. If you grown them yourself, keep in mind you'll eventually be consuming them, so treat them accordingly.
- hibiscus, rose, rose geranium, violet, calendula, chive, basil, thyme, cherry blossom, zucchini blossom, and nasturtium. Keep in mind, not all flowers are edible, some are poisonous, and proper identification is essential. Again, not all parts of the flower are edible, and some varietals should be avoided if you are pregnant or nursing, so please read up with some of the references I link to up above. On the rose front, heirloom varietals are broadly thought to have better flavor and fragrance, with newer roses often bred for appearance rather than flavor (fragrance).
- Once cut, I tend to keep flowers in clean water until I'm ready to use them. They typically last this way from 1-5 days, with regular refreshing of the water. I'll typically trim or pluck petals from the vase as I need them. If I get the sense I might not use them entirely while fresh, I make the move to dry them before they go bad. (instructions below)
- This requires patience and a bit of space. I'll start by saying I haven't had luck drying flowers in a low-heat oven. The petals quickly lose color and vibrancy. Instead, I arrange them in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Leave them for about a week, using your fingertips to toss them every day or so, or until dry and crisp. I usually wait until they seem completely dry, and then give them another couple of days to rid themselves of any residual moisture I might not be able to sense. At this point transfer to a tight jar or container.
10 EDIBLE FLOWER SALADS THAT ARE WAY TOO PRETTY TO EAT

- "Eat Flowers, Be Happy" Salad. These salads have officially confirmed my belief that food will forever be more photogenic than me. How can one not take awe over this plate?!
- Wildflower & Arugula Salad with Orange Blossom Vinaigrette & Farmer's Cheese. The plating for this salad is STUNNING. I love the usage of both whole and sliced radishes, paired with sliced apples, and of course the edible flowers.
- Rainbow Radish Salad. This salad is blooming with vibrancy in both flavor and color. The real key to this recipe is "thinly sliced;" every vegetable and flower has a crisp definition to it from the usage of a mandoline.
- Green Salad with Edible Flowers. Martha Stewart has done it again with this beautiful Green Salad garnished with tri-colored Violas. The cool thing about this recipe is that it is composed only of greens, flowers, and a light vinaigrette; very nice and light for a summer appetizer.
- Edible Flower Spring Salad. "Natural" is what comes to mind when I view this salad; the use of radishes and Radicchio really compliment the flowers and help to create a garden-like plate.
- Green Asparagus, Goat Cheese, and Flowers with An Orange Vinaigrette. AsparaYES. Asparagus is one of those vegetables that is so naturally beautifully; its shape resembles that of a flower and has such a nice plating presence.
- Minted Honeydew Blueberry Walnut Salad. From a quick glance, one might lettuce, but this salad is actually built on honeydew. The addition of mint, walnuts, blueberries, honey, and flowers is all that is needed in order to turn a bowl of fruit into an aesthetically painted plate.
- Farmer T's Herb and Flower Salad. Farmer T, I don't know who you are, but thank you for sharing this awesome recipe with the world! This salad has all the goods in it between the edible flowers (nasturtiums, bachelor buttons, calendula petals, Lanai blue verbenas) and herbs (dill, tarragon, parsley, thyme).
- Sorrel Caesar Salad with Fresh Strawberrie. Caution: this is not your average Caesar salad - it's 10X better! Sorrel is a perennial with a bright and acidic flavor, perfect for the base of this dish.
- Smoked Salmon Salad. I'm not the biggest fan of smoked salmon, but this salad has definitely inspired me to give it a try again. The color of the salmon creates a really nice basis for the flowers to rest upon.
