Here is an example of a recipe for a Nasturtion [nasturtium] Salad from Grandma Keeler's Housekeeper published circa 1910: "Cut the heart of a large bunch of celery very fine, and add to it one tablespoonful minced parsley and six blades of chives. Mix with a French dressing, then stir lightly the petals of twelve nasturtion blossoms. Put in a salad dish lined with crisp lettuce leaves and garnish with nasturtion leaves."
