Wordless Wednesday: Eating Violets
When eating violets, avoid the yellow ones, which are not edible.
The new, tender leaves of blue or white violets make a lovely salad, though. Just add olive oil, salt and pepper, lemon juice, and confectionary sugar.
This recipe was approved by a ten- and a seven-year old, who both tried to sneak more violets out of the bowl before daddy came home to get his share.
About violets... high in iron, calcium, and anti-oxidants.

beautiful and thanks for the tip!
I usually just toss some violets into a regular salad. They grow like weeds in my yard.
Rats, you had to tell me what they were, lol. Because they LOOK de-lish, but violets? Shows you how much I (don't) know about greens!
I had no idea you could eat these. Learn something new everyday. Happy WW ♥
I've eaten nasturtium flowers but never violets
Will be trying this really soon and will let you now how it goes. Violets are a plague in our front garden- good to know they are tasty! Hooray!
