Take a mixing bowl and add all the lettuce leaves, vegetables, grapefruit, orange and sweet lime segments and mix well. Now, in a separate mixing bowl add the lemon juice, orange juice, finely chopped garlic (optionally, it can be brown garlic/roasted garlic), honey and EV olive oil, salt and pepper, and mix well, Post mixing, add the flower petals to this. Take a serving plate or a bowl and distribute the leafy citrus fruit mix and top this up with the lemon-petal dressing. Serve chilled.
