Edible Flowers Salad with Shallot Dressing

December 11, 2012 by Rebecca Forstadt-Olkowski 1 Comment

While perusing a booth at a local farmer’s market I found a bag of greens mixed with edible flower petals at one of the vendor booths.  It was such a beautiful mix, I had to take some home to make a salad out of them.

Enjoy this Edible Flowers Salad with Shallot Dressing Recipe

    We all know people loves to make and dress their own salad. With your organic recipe, your salad will be much more delicious as you even tasted before. Organic recipes sure were very lively and fund by most of the people who want it to look even more delicious.
