  3. Do not chop or tear the fresh leaves. Wash them quickly and dry them gently with a paper towel. Cut chives and green garlic into 3-4 inch pieces. Separate nasturtium leaves from flowers and leave them whole.
  4. Make the dressing. Use one half and refrigerate the rest for future use.
    Toss the salad until the leaves are uniformly coated with the dressing.
    Taste the salad and adjust by adding more salt, cherry juice, or oil if necessary. The final
    salad should have a balance of crispness, acidity, and a hint of saltiness.
    Serve as is, or add some seeds or nuts for extra crunch, hard boiled eggs or seafood.
  5. For maximum flavor and health benefits, use organic ingredients. Enjoy this vibrant, herb-filled salad!
