Do you grow nasturtiums? Did you know that they were edible? The have a peppery flavor and of course a lovely confetti color, once they're all chopped up. Make some dressing for your next salad!
3 nasturtium flowers
4 nasturtium leaves
3 T. olive oil
2 t. red wine vinegar
1/2 t. dijon mustard
a pinch of sugar
salt and pepper
Coarsely chop the flowers and leaves, then mix with remaining ingredients. Whisk with a fork until emulsified.
Tonight I had this dressing on a salad of mixed lettuces, golden beets, and goat cheese. I also added chopped fresh tarragon, which is really nice with beets.
NOTE: Make sure that the nasturtiums that you're using have been grown without chemicals - either grow them yourself, or buy ones that have been grown for culinary purposes.
