2. Steam sugar snap peas for one minute and add to vegetables. Set aside to cool completely before placing in a bowl and tossing with herbs, spring onions, chives, and toasted sunflower seeds.
3. Stir the dressing ingredients together and drizzle over vegetables. Toss in zucchini flowers and any desired add-ins and serve immediately.
