Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

One of the most recognized garnishes from Texas Roadhouse is the cactus blossom. The restaurant uses them as eye-catching garnishes for many items on their menu, including their famous steak dinners. I recently took some time to make my own version at home and was quite surprised by how easy it was to do. 

The recipe is for those who cannot find one in stores or want to avoid having to purchase a single flower. This recipe makes an easy substitute while preserving its authenticity. So have a look below.
