I enjoy looking ahead through the recipes to see what I have the most ingredients for, what might pair well with another dish, and what might be better served in warmer weather rather than cold.
I noticed tonight that the Sansa Salad includes a few edible flowers. Last I checked, you can't buy edible flowers at ye Olde Farmer's Market, so it looks like I will need to grow my own. That pushes the making of this dish back to mid to late Spring, easy.
I already have a few plants on my property that produce edible flowers, such as hollyhocks (not a noteworthy flavor) and hibiscus (a tart, berry like brew). Sansa Salad is pictured in A Feast of Ice and Fire with violets, and so violets I shall acquire and grow.
