I made this salad up today from as many things as i could find. in total there are 12 different plants sude in the salad which are:
Red Dead Nettle
Cleavers (the tips)
Chickweed
Wood Bitter-cress
Nettle (tops)
Altrenate leaved golden Saxifrage
Wood Sorrel (small quantity)
Ground ivy (very small quantity)
Commn sorrel
Garlic Mustard
Primrose (flowers and very young leaves)
Dandelion leaves
Thought it would be worth showing you to make people aware of what is arround at this time of year...
I ate the salad with an omlette, a great combination!
Have fun and take care and make sure you know what you are picking!
btw, the Ray Mears Wild Food book has been a real inspiration to me... i have learnt a lot from the book that is not included in the DVD. If you only have the DVD it might be worth buying if you like forraging and want to learn some more edible plants.
