Salad with nasturtium

This is the first time I have added nasturtium to my salad! Last year I tried growing edible flowers (nasturtium, calendula and marigolds) with little success. The only ones that flowered were the nasturtium. I forgot they were out in the garden (under horticultural fleece - protects the plants but it is opaque so you have to lift it up to see what's happening) and when I remembered to pick them they were all gone.
Today I noticed I had a single flower so I snapped it up to add some colour. Didn't notice a taste but some of my salad leaves are peppery so perhaps it couldn't compete.


The next day I found more nasturtium - this time in different colours!
