Do t...I'm sure onion blossoms would taste good! Do the plants need them to feed the bulb? (Maybe I'm thinking of irises. No, that would be the leaves. Never mind.)<br /><br />The chive blossoms work out well for us because the stems get woody and really hard to chew when the plant blooms. It takes a while for more tender shoots to appear after it blooms. At least that's how mine behave!Mrs. Micawberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08680436275934263596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366775845290776474.post-42621477412041178852011-06-06T19:10:20.808-05:002011-06-06T19:10:20.808-05:00I hadn't thought of chive blossoms in a salad,...I hadn't thought of chive blossoms in a salad, either. Do you think red onion blossoms might work, too? I've tried the cheese surprise sandwiches and in tomato soup, too.

I would just chop enough onion and pepper and parsley to mix in with whatever batter I had left, and drop spoonfuls into the hot oil. Then I developed a way to make them in the oven so we could avoid the hot splattering oil. (I wrote a post on it - should have linked to it in this post. Duh.)<br /><br />http://mrsmicawber.blogspot.com/2011/03/oven-baked-vegetable-fritters-gluten.html<br /><br />If you try this recipe, feel free to add a bit of extra flour and/or water. It's a little scary the first time because it looks like there's no batter at all.<br /><br />I've seen pictures of marigolds and pansies in salad too but never tried them.Mrs. Micawberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08680436275934263596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366775845290776474.post-81286418476360394692011-06-06T14:32:25.603-05:002011-06-06T14:32:25.603-05:00Looks like a Very Good Lunch indeed.

I am most intrigued by the chive blossoms in your salad because they have me thinking that a salad with flower blossoms might be fun for my daughter! And I've made potato fritters before, but honestly never thought to put other veggies in them... It is something I will have to try for sure!~Claire~https://www.blogger.com/profile/18345768633132333470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366775845290776474.post-25645548583330173222011-06-06T03:05:38.271-05:002011-06-06T03:05:38.271-05:00Looks good!Looks good!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366775845290776474.post-61566080743314931232011-06-04T17:30:46.960-05:002011-06-04T17:30:46.960-05:00Yum.
