It never occurred to me that other people don't eat flowers, we've been doing it here for years. When I plant the containers on my porch I've always gained a sense of satisfaction that their prettiness is matched by their usefulness. Read more We've been picking this salad from our porch for years. I grow my own Meyer Lemons in a container too. I promise to post photos when this years crop comes in. Just an FYI, I don't eat flowers if I don't know where they come from. I was told by my florist friend to NEVER eat flowers that you get from a florist as they are usually specially (read CHEMICALS) treated for longevity. See less

How to make it
- Prep the flowers by washing them and gently plucking their petals. I like to leave the petals whole so people can see what they are eating.

- Either in your salad serving bowl or in a jar combine the last 6 ingredients.
