Borage flowers are very pretty and taste faintly of cucumber and oysters, which makes them an excellent match for light vegetables or seafood. Here we have used them to garnish a crisp summer salad of fennel and cucumber, with a light yoghurt dressing. Fennel pollen really pumps up the aniseed flavour, too.
