Notes

Tips & Tricks

The nasturtium flowers are very delicate; it's best to add them to your salad last by gently arranging them over your salad.

If you don't have a salad dressing bottle on hand, you can use a small mug and whisk the ingredients together instead of shaking them.

Store leftover dressing in the fridge for up to a week.
