Related: About this forumEdible Flower Mandala Salad
Oh, wow -- look what I found on Seed Savers Exchange:
Create This Salad at Home
Start with:
Bed of salad greens: varieties of lettuce, a bit of fresh basil, and arugula, all cut into small pieces.
Top with:
Beets, orange carrots, and yellow carrots, finely grated
Cucumbers, sliced and peeled
Cherry Roma tomatoes (can use any colorful heirloom tomatoes)
Feta cheese, cut into small pieces
Edible flowers: nasturtiums, calendula petals, Siberian catmint, monarda blossoms (lemon mint/bee balm) removed from their stems, and borage are ideal
(Small violas, Johnny Jump-Ups, and mustard blossoms are also suitable for salads.)

This would be great for a summer party! This makes me want to plan my whole garden just so I can make this.
