Most people don’t just bite into a whole flower like a caveperson—though you totally can. Here are a few stylish ways to do it:
Pluck the petals and tear them into a salad with arugula and goat cheese. The color is stunning. Or stuff a raw calyx with cream cheese and a jalapeño slice—instant fancy appetizer.
You can also chop the tender leaves and mix them into a slaw with cabbage and a lime dressing. The raw plant adds a subtle, refreshing tang that makes the whole dish feel alive.
