Deck the Salad with Sprigs of Flowers

We can never go wrong with more colors in our salad. Why not gather some wild mustard and radish flowers? They often grow as weeds in our gardens and are easily found outdoors.

Wild radish flowers are four-petaled and purple. They are mild-tasting and charming.

According to traditional herbal knowledge, mustard is metabolically strengthening, and combats digestive weakness and loss of appetite. The flowers are small and clustered, with a distinct yellow color. They, too, have a mild taste and are easily enjoyed in salads.
