SPRING IS THE TIME TO EAT DANDELION GREENS, PURSLANE AND OTHER GREENS
I think most of you are familiar with dandelion greens, some of you can readily identify pursalane growing. This is a good time to check out the farmer’s markets for other interesting greens such as beet greens, chard, lettuces, watercress, turnip greens, mustard greens. Also, mint leaves especially the peppermint , spearmint , chocolate mints, and parsley. All these greens can make a nice salad using as many as you want together and you can even add tomatoes (even though they are not in season yet), bacon and drippings, onions, garlic.
These wild and not so wild greens are not only delicious, but help to “spring clean” your insides.
( No, I did not forget poke, comfrey, plantain, or a few others. I don’t consider them safe to eat. If you want to add them, that’s up to you.)
