The first time I saw a salad decorated with edible flowers, I was blown away and had to photograph it. Stuart Prado brought this to Barry’s 40th birthday party.

Recently, Julia Wharton shared this list of edible flowers for salads. She says most of these are easy to grow, and some are self-seeding:

Borage
Calendula
Nasties (nasturtiums)
Daylily (not other lilies)
Rose and Dahlia petals
Pansy
Rucola

I know cornflowers are edible, too. And there were little white flowers in Stuart’s salad that I can’t identify, but they were my favorites. Do you know of any others? Please leave them as a comment.
