Easy Fresh and Foraged Violet Salad

This tasty salad is incredibly gourmet with the only real cost being a fresh avocado. Everything else is easily foraged from the pantry and outdoors. This salad is stunning with the impressive fiddleheads, the rich avocado and the delicate violets. I think it would be a great choice for Mother’s Day brunch paired with quiche.
