7 tablespoons olive oil
12 lemon, zest of
fresh rosemary, finely chopped

1
First make the dressing: whisk the egg yolk, mustard and lemon juice in a small bowl, then add the oil slowly, in a very thin stream (rather like making a mayonnaise, although the texture should not be quite so thick).
2
Add the lemon zest, rosemary and a little seasoning.
3
Chill and allow to steep for a few hours.
4
Just before serving, combine the salad ingredients and toss with the dressing.
5
The flowers should be added last for visual effect: they can be added after the salad has been dressed, so as not to become wet.
6
The whole meal is designed to be light but full of flavour.
