Cucumber Salad Recipe ⋇ Cucumber Salad with Borage Flowers

Borage is a lovely garden plant, and both the leaves and the flowers are edible. I like to add them to this simple cucumber salad.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 1 cucumber - halved, seeded, and sliced
• 6 borage leaves
• 12 fresh borage flowers

Cooking Directions

1. Combine olive oil, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl and stir together. Add sliced cucumber, cover, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
2. Sprinkle with borage leaves and borage flowers just before serving, as the flowers wilt quickly.
