salad greens. We went into my back yard (more like back jungle of weeds) and I was surprised to find
out that most of what was growing wild was edible. To the purchased salad mix I had gotten we added some dandelion leaves, wild mustard plant, leaves of common mallow which I grew up only knowing as morning glory and a lot of lambs quarters, plus the seeds of a type of grass. Lady Ellie added some of the herbs she had brought and I had some peas. Although not seasonal we also added some carrot and celery slices. I have been eating this “salad of weeds” for almost a week now in several variations and it is perhaps the best salad I've ever eaten. We dressed it with extra-virgin olive oil, white wine vinegar and kosher salt.
