Edible flowers add a special touch to salads. Once the salad has been tossed with dressing, pick off petals from edible flowers and toss them on top. Many flowers have a strong flavor, so use a light hand when adding them to a salad.

Nasturtium: Available in a scope of colors. Both flowers and leaves add a peppery flavor to mixed greens.

Calendula: A prolific grower, calendula blossoms grow in abundance. Sprinkle individual petals lightly on a salad.

Herb Flowers: Basil, chives, dill, fennel, and arugula flowers all add a spark of aromatic flavor and a burst of color to salads.

Viola: Whether wild or cultivated, delicately flavored violas jazz up a bowl of mesclun greens like nothing else.

Borage: Intense blue star shaped flowers add a burst of color that contrasts nicely with greens. The flower's delicate flavor tastes similar to cucumber. Separate the flower from the stem for a softer texture.
