and the edible flowers well by immersing each, separately, in a bowl of water. Trim the stems from both the mustard and the flowers and set aside. To a medium-sized stainless steel skillet, add an inch of water. Bring to a boil. Add a pinch of sea salt and then add the clean mustard greens.

Allow them to boil for about one minute. Drizzle the apple cider vinegar over the greens while still in the pan. Remove them from the pan with a wire mesh skimmer or a slotted spoon.  Serve on individual plates or bowls and garnish with the edible flowers.
