Spring Bouquet Salad With Basil-Chive Vinaigrette, Chèvre, And Pine Nuts

• For the basil-chive vinaigrette:
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
• 1/4 cup Champagne vinegar
• 2 teaspoons honey
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
• For the salad:
• 1 head butter lettuce, washed and torn into bite sized pieces
• 1/4 cup lightly toasted pine nuts (swirl them in a dry pan over medium heat for 2 or 3 minutes or until fragrant)
• 2 ounces chevre, crumbled
• 12 or more edible flowers

1. Combine all vinaigrette ingredients in a blender except for the olive oil; puree. With blender running, slowly add olive oil. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. (You'll have vinaigrette left over for another use.)
2. Place lettuce in a large serving bowl. Drizzle with 1/4 cup or more vinaigrette; toss to coat. Sprinkle with pine nuts and crumbled chevre. Arrange flowers on top and serve.
