Free Spring Greens

What is better than a fresh-from-the-ground salad?  While it is still early for cultivated greens like kale, spinach and lettuce, there are still fresh greens to be foraged!

Pictured here is a nice selection of greens; the bland plantain, chickweed, violet and daylily greens were given some tasty help from foraged dandelion, thistle and chive.  Added to that were some herbs that survived the mild winter to spice things up.  This bowl of greens made three entree sized chopped salads.
