This simple arugula salad is a fun and colorful way to use edible flowers in the cooler months!
This Pansy Salad with blood orange vinaigrette will bring some color to your menus using edible flowers that thrive year round!
WHERE CAN I GET EDIBLE PANSIES?
Some large supermarkets stock edible flowers in little plastic tubs in the produce section. Or you can visit your local garden center to find them, and be sure to ask for pansies that haven’t been sprayed or treated with chemicals.
WHAT DO PANSIES TASTE LIKE?
I think they have an herby flavor, with a hint of mint. They’re not overpowering in any way. Just remove the stems and use the whole blossom.
Let's see the ingredients of the Salad, so you'll have a good first try of the pansies.
Ingredients:
- 6 cups baby arugula
