Preparation steps

1.

Toast the pine nuts and sunflower seeds in a dry skillet until fragrant. Remove from heat and allow to cool. 

2.

Preheat the oven's broiler. 

3.

Place the baguette slices on a wire rack and brush with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place under the broiler and toast for 4-5 minutes, until golden brown. (Watch closely so they do not burn.) Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly, then spread with cream cheese, season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with the chopped chives. 

4.

Rinse the spinach, fresh herbs, sprouts, cress, and flowers and pat dry. Remove the herb leaves from the stems. Rinse the radishes and cut into thin slices. Arrange everything decoratively on plates. 

5.

Whisk together the remaining olive oil, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice and 1-2 tablespoons of water. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle over the salads. Sprinkle the salads with the toasted nuts and serve with the chive toast.
