Flower Power Salad

Who would have thought that hollyhocks, nasturtiums and violas would be so delicious? It might seem like a throwback to the hippy 1970s, but these edible flowers look so pretty and with their vibrant colours are sure to add lots of great phytochemicals to your diet. Be sure to identify your flowers carefully – they’re not all edible!

 Ingredients

Method

  1. To make Apple Glaze, place apple juice in a large, heavy-based frypan and simmer until it reduces down to about 3 tbsp (about 25 minutes). Allow to cool.
  2. To prepare salad, place flower petals, herbs and salad leaves onto a serving platter. If not serving at once, cover with a wet paper towel and chill. When ready to serve, sprinkle with pepper and drizzle with cooled Apple Glaze. Serve immediately.
