From: Musk mallow

Ingredients

2 small handfuls of young musk mallow leaves
1 soft lettuce (butterhead or oak leaf)
½ cucumber
1 bunch of radishes
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon honey
salt and pepper
12 to 20 musk mallow flowers

Method

Rinse the leaves and lettuce and spin them dry. Cut the largest mallow leaves into strips.
Cut the cucumber into half-moons and the radishes into thin slices.
Whisk the oil with the vinegar, honey, salt and pepper to make a vinaigrette.
Toss the lettuce, mallow leaves, cucumber and radishes with the vinaigrette, and only add the flowers at the very end: that way they stay pretty.

Storing: Not for keeping: make the salad just before serving.
