Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Tear the greens into bite-size pieces and drop them into a large salad bowl. Pour enough dressing over the salad to lightly coat the greens. Taste and adjust seasonings, if necessary. Garnish with edible flowers, if one strives for fanciness.
  2. Edible Blooms If the notion of eating flowers calls to mind a pasture cow chomping on clover, it is time to revise one's thinking. A colorful blend of delicate blossoms instantly makes a salad of simple mixed greens more elegant, and depending upon the chosen blooms, will add lemony, peppery, tart, or honeyed flavor. Before dashing off to the nearest meadow, take note: not all flowers are edible. Pluck only those one is certain can be safely digested, such as violet, hyssop, borage, calendula, lilac, nasturtium, dandelion, pansy, and marigold. Remove all pistils and stamens before eating and avoid any flowers suspected to have received pesticide treatment.
