Summer salad with a sprinkling of edible flowers

To begin, steam or boil your asparagus and french beans for about 15-20 minutes.Meanwhile, wash your salad leaves and set aside into a mixing bowl, along with your sliced tomatoes. Once the asparagus and french beans are tender, turn them out using a colander and slice them length ways before incorporating them into the mixing bowl.Drizzle a generous amount of rapeseed oil and toss ingredients gently using your hands or salad servers.Transfer your summer salad onto a serving platter and sprinkle the edible flowers over the top for a decorative salad the whole family can enjoy.

If you haven't used rapeseed oil before it's a fantastic alternative to olive oil as it contains 10x more Omega 3 -making it ideal for the health conscious. Mache Lambs lettuce is a lovely green leafy salad with a tangy taste that would work well alongside watercress or rocket. Our edible flowers come in a pack of about 15-20 flower petals and are delicate in flavour as well as appearance.These ingredients can all be bought from our website http://www.efoodies.co.uk Any further questions about any of our produce, don't hesistate to email me at: clairewells@londonfinefoods.co.uk
