I've been trying to get myself to eat healthier lately so today i had my first wild salad. Picked some purslane, plantain,woods sorrel, and dandelion leaves, all in my backyard. Put a little olive oil and red vinegar on it, and it was one of the best tasting salads i ever ate. Definitely wont be my last. Think i will keep researching wild edibles so i can take more advantage of natures free bounty.

Man I love purslane!!!! any way I can get it,,it's all over my yard. I have a little story; my buddy Don (master gardener) this guy should be on this site but he says he's too old? 68?? he's a knapper bowyer he does it all I'll keep tyring,,any way I'm weed eating this stuff that took over all the edges of my lawn cursing the hole bit!! Don says "Did you freeze a bunch of this before you got the wacker out?" many bad words later he bends over plucks a hand full and starts eating?? then he dares me to try it! well the rest is history I like it fried w|garlick crushed red pepper and cannellini beans with parm cheese any way good for you!!!!

This may be hard to believe, but I eat alot of stinging nettle. Cook it as you would any other green mix with some poke yum yum yum.
