Green and Purple Zucchini Salad: dressed with elderflower vinegar

Green and Purple Zucchini Salad: dressed with elderflower vinegar By Ng @ Whats for dinner? One of my many elderflower experiments that I've made in the last few weeks is Darina Allen's Elderflower Vinegar from her Forgotten Skill of Cooking. A simple just warmed vinegar and elderflowers but wow! I've been dressing all my salad with it including this Green and Purple Zucchini Salad.
Green and Purple Zucchini Salad: dressed with elderflower vinegar
For 1-2 people who love salad
1 zucchini
1/2 cup fresh green herbs chopped: musted cress, chives, mint and oregano
2-3 heads of purple chive flowers
a few purple thyme flowers
1 Tbs olive oil
1 tsp elderflower vinegar
salt and pepper

Peal the zucchini into long ribbons with a veggie peeler. Mix with green herbs and purple flowers. Add salt and pepper and dress with olive oil and elderflower vinegar.

I like raw zucchini but if you don't then pop the dressed ribbons on the grill and enjoy the salad warm.

  1. Your comment says for 1-2 people who like salad, maybe you should add, 3-4 for the rest of us! I did not know chive flower heads are edible. Do you put it in whole, or break it up? We don't have elderflowers here, as far as I know. What kind of vinegar could I substitute when I try this recipe?

  3. You can get the chive head whole or broken. I broke it up. I would use a nice apple or wine vinegar as a substitute.

  5. I seldom drop responses, but i did a few searching and wound up here "Green and Purple Zucchini Salad: dressed with elderflower vinegar".
    And I actually do have a few questions for you if you don't mind. Could it be just me or does it give the impression like a few of the remarks come across as if they are written by brain dead visitors? :-P And, if you are writing at other places, I'd like to keep up with
    anything new you have to post. Would you make a
    list of every one of your communal sites like your Facebook page,
    twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
