When I saw the salt with dried rose petals, I immediately knew where to put it. It was like the missing piece to a puzzle. I have been ruminating lately about trying out a fresh zucchini salad but I wanted something delicate that can go with the seemingly fragile taste of raw zucchini. The rose petals & lemon zest topped with lemon flavoured extra virgin olive oil made the simple salad complete. It was very summery & light. I had been waiting for a summer break in winter.
