Wild Greens: Turn Weeds into a Great Salad in Winter or Spring
Here are wild greens and common yard weeds that can be turned into great salads, anytime the weather is cool and wet. Even in the winter, if the ground isn't frozen. They are common weeds of the spring, too, in many lawns, gardens, and untended areas in neighborhoods and parks.
I pick 16 weeds from my yard. I give you tips for making a great wild salad. I top my salad with plants from the wild and from my garden -- even homegrown ripe tomatoes on December 31! And I have a New Year's Eve cocktail made from my Black Locust Flower Gin. Have a great year of foraging and eating!
I made this salad as part of my annual personal challenge to make a wild salad on the last day of every year.
