| Directions |
- Trim off any outer green leaves (discard or save for use as cooked greens).
- Slice the hollow stalks lengthwise into narrow strips (about 1/4"); cut the strips into pieces 2 to 3 inches long. Soak the pieces in ice water for 15 minutes (or up to an hour). Most will curl up.
- Whisk remaining ingredients (except flowers) together to make the dressing.
- To serve, drain puntarelle pieces and spin or pat dry. Toss with dressing. Scatter flowers over, if using.
