Foraged Wild Edible Salad Greens with Heart Healthy Omega 3 Dressing


Hey Luv,

In the springtime wild greens are fresh and tender for the picking, making them the best addition to your salads. These greens have been unaltered by man and are typically more nutritionally dense by containing more minerals and vitamins than hybrid vegetables.

I’ve been eating wild greens since I was a little girl in Ohio. My favorite thing to do would be to nosh on dandelion greens in the spring and summertime. Last summer, when my summer garden was nothing but a dried up bed of dreams. There was only aloe plants and a tomato bush. Not a single vegetable I had planted in the garden was growing well, which angered my midwestern ancestors above. Had I created better compost, this never would have happened. Oh well, live and learn!

Yesterday while looking over at the weed patch that I hadn’t pulled up yet, I decided to just eat them. Mostly out of desperation of not wanting to have another depressing grocery store trip. The coronavirus has the produce shelves looking like one of my ghosted boyfriends from last summer. So I plucked them, pulled them and tossed them into a bowl with my tasty fermented peppers and some nutritional yeast! After all, I did at water that patch all year while praying for a watermelon!

Fresh rosemary from my garden, Wild flowers picked on my hike Wild edibles from my baron patch of garden (chickweed, lambsquarter, dandelion greens and plantain leaves) Fermented peppers and sun dried tomatoes I grew, fermented and dried myself!

Growing a vegetable garden sure teaches a person a lot about nutrition and the importance of eating an alkaline diet. Even though our stomach needs an acid medium to digest food, it sure is worth the trouble to get fresh air and sunshine. It amazes me how the health of my soil relates to the health of the my body. After all, I come from pure good soil and loving Ohio roots! I’m just trying to make my Grandma La Golda proud!


ANDREA’S WILD EDIBLES SALAD DRESSING

Collect and wash your choice of wild edible greens. I love to use the following, plantain, chickweed, lambsquarter, dandelion.

Omega 3 Wild Dressing

Make the dressing by blending all ingredients except for the greens in a blender. Pour dressing over salad greens and top with dandelion blossoms and hemp seeds and avocado. I added nutritional yeast too. Dressing will keep for two days in a sealed container in the fridge.
