🥄 Texture
Delicate, tender flower petals and mixed greens are contrasted by the crisp, thinly sliced cucumber for a refreshing crunch. The overall mouthfeel is light and airy with occasional soft chew from the flowers.
👃 Aroma
Bright citrus from the lime is front and center, joined by the pungent, savory-fermented note of fish sauce. Subtle floral perfume from the edible flowers lifts and softens the aroma.
🍷 Pairs Well With
Chilled off-dry Riesling or a lightly sweet jasmine iced tea; sparkling water with a lime wedge is a non-alcoholic alternative.
🥗 Side Dishes
Grilled shrimp or chicken satay, steamed jasmine or coconut rice, and fresh spring rolls — light, mildly seasoned sides that complement the salad's bright, savory dressing.
