Confetti Salad with Calendula Petals

This bright salad is almost too beautiful to eat! Featuring calendula petals, cabbage, onions, oranges, and avocados, it will quickly become one of your favorites.

Calendula petals are edible, and some describe their flavor as peppery or spicy. They are often used in recipes for their perky color and make a striking garnish for beverages. The dried petals can be ground and used in place of saffron to add color to foods such as rice, breads, butter, cheeses, custards, and liqueurs. The fresh petals can be tossed into soups, stews, and salads, as well as fish and poultry dishes.
