Summer Flower Salad with Dandelion Dressing • Combine rocket leaves with lambs lettuce for a delicate salad and top with borage, nasturtiums and carnations for a peppery taste with a soft, cucumbery scent. • For the dressing, combine extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar with agave nectar and horseradish mustard to taste. Season with salt and pepper, and add small dandelion buds (as they get larger, the flavour becomes more bitter) before tossing through the salad.
