preen up a salad with flowerfetti ! What is flowerfetti , you ask ? It ’s confetti made with flower petal . Flowerfetti is popular in weddings as a biodegradable option to confetti . And what could be pretty than confetti made with colorful petals ? Recipes decorated with eatable flowerfetti ! Oh yeah .
When I was a kid I used to be embarrassed to ask for friends over to my house for dinner party because my female parent , an avid gardener , was know to put thing on our food for thought . Things like nasturtiums .
genus Nasturtium !
Can you even imagine what my champion would say when they consider blossom on the salad ?
Well , as embarrassed as I was at the metre , my friend really enjoyed deplete the nasturtiums and it open my eyes to the possible action of what eatable flowers could be added to recipes . Fast forward to 2018 when I have a garden full of comestible flowers from theGarden Therapy Edible Flowers Collectionthat are so generative that we have to eat flowers and salad pretty much every day .
So my son may be a bit embarrassed , but when his admirer come over for dinner party you could bet there ’ll be nasturtiums ( plus chive bloom , pea flowers , viola , pansies , zucchini blossoms , and calendula petals ) on the salad .
Ingredients
-Edible flowers , such as :
-Mixed wise wampum leaves
Make it !
reap a subdivision of comestible flowersfresh from the garden and remove the petals . I do n’t wash the flowers before rust them because they are grow in my garden organically and I have confidence that there is nothing affected on them that I am afraid of . Washing the petals gain them damp and they stick together or to themselves .
If you have some soil , aphids , or other garden friends on the flowers , then remove the petals and put them into a small salad spinster . Add the top to the thread maker and throw off it around a few clip to softly toss the petals and boost anything little to fall off through the colander in the spinner .
besprinkle the petals over a salad to add together color AND flavour !
Bonus Points – dress the salad with edible flowers too by following thischive blossom vinegar recipe ! My son will be shock for life .
