Salad Recipe, yummy!

Gabby's "Friday's Five" question prompted me to share this recipe. If anyone here besides me grows nasturtiums this is a terrific salad. The raspberry/mustard vinaigrette is outstanding. If you don't have raspberry mustard just make it by whisking 1 Tbsp Dijon with 1/2 Tbsp raspberry jam. Both the leaves and the flowers of the nastutium are used for eating. The flowers have a gentle spicy/peppery flavor.
If you don't grow nasturtiums just know they are an easy flower to grow. They are lovely and delicate and grow continuosly all summer. I use them as a border for my herb garden.

1/3 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 shallot, minced

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Edible nasturtiums (optional)
