Wild Spring Flower Salad

Wild Spring Flower Salad

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

1/3 cup wood violet blossoms
2 cup wood violet leaves
1 cup young dandelion greens
1/3. cup sour grass (clover like wood sorrel)
1/4 cup salad burnet leaves
4 cup other lettuce
1/2 cup toasted walnuts
1/2 cup drained mandarin oranges (from can)
1/2 cup fresh or partially thawed frozen raspberries
raspberry or tangerine vineagrette

Directions:

Nota Bene from a Vegan Web Recipe Posted: These flowers and greens appear in early spring where I am from (Texas), but I0 think they are pretty common throughout the US. Take a nice walk in the woods and gather your delicate ingredients, then return home for a lovely, light refreshing salad.

Toast walnuts and cool. Toss all ingredients and serve on a lovely bright spring day:-)

Serves 4.

Crab à la Newburg

"On Sunday, breakfast and lunch can be an ideal time to serve Lobster Newburg to impress your guests. This Lobster Newburg recipe is delicious, garnished with diced green scallions and fresh parsley. In addition, I have tried other seafood varieties, such as Crab à la Newburg, adding a touch of lime juice, white wine vinegar, salt, and white pepper to taste. Everyone's favorite for Sunday Brunch."
