In a small saucepan, cook the fresh kumquats with honey over low heat for 5-7 minutes, until they are soft. Let the mixture cool for 1 hour to allow the juice to thicken.
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped cucumber, half of the cooked kumquats, chopped basil, chopped fennel, chopped bell pepper, grated purple carrot, and chopped celery.
To make the dressing, blend the remaining cooked kumquats with their juice, lemon juice, mustard, salt, black pepper, and hemp hearts until smooth.
Pour the dressing over the salad and mix well.
Arrange a few slices of cucumbers in the bottom of a salad bowl. Add the dressed chopped veggies on top of the cucumbers.
Invert the bowl onto a serving plate.
Garnish the salad with black sesames or kumquats and serve immediately. Enjoy
