Looking for summer on your plate? Go for a salad filled with colorful edible flowers! In our webshop you will find our special 'Salad Mix'. This mix contains a selection of edible flowers with a suitable texture and taste to enrich your salad. In this blog we will tell you all about which edible flowers are perfect for your summer salad.
- Violets : With their grassy flavor reminiscent of fresh lettuce, violets are a great addition to salads. The violet comes in a variety of colors and sizes.
- Daisies : These cute little flowers add a charming touch to your salad. Daisies have a slightly bitter taste, similar to leafy greens, with a subtle nutty undertone.
- Nasturtium : With a spicy, radish-like flavor from both the flower and the leaf, nasturtium flowers add a delicious kick to your salad. Available in vibrant shades of red, orange, and yellow.
- Tagetes : Tagetes, also known as Marigolds, bring a unique, refreshing taste and bright color to your salad. The 'standard' tagetes has a spicy taste. The lemon marigold is a small yellow flower, and as the name suggests, this flower has a citrus-like taste.
- Marigolds : Whether you use the whole flower or just the petals, marigolds add a beautiful touch to any salad. The cheerful orange and yellow colors not only add a pop of color, but also a light, spicy flavor.
- Cornflowers : Like marigolds, cornflowers are perfect for picking the petals from the bud and using as a colorful garnish for your salad.
- Dairy William : This sweet little flower has a lettuce-like texture. With its slightly spicy, peppery flavor, the Dairy William is a perfect addition to salads.
The basics are simple: Make a green salad with a mix of rocket, oak leaf lettuce and little gem. Add your favourite vegetables, such as tomatoes and cucumber. For some extra bite and flavour, add some crumbled feta, chopped walnuts or olives. Sprinkle the salad with a dressing of your choice.
And last but not least, the best part of the salad: garnish generously with our special Salad Mix! Enjoy a salad that not only tastes good, but is also a feast for the eyes!
