Chickweed Salad
Over Thanksgiving it was pointed out that I have tons of chickweed (an edible leaf) growing all over the new property. Today I made a salad and threw a bunch in for fun. Free food - who doesn't love that idea?
Give it a good rinse and there you go.
Ingredients:
- red leaf lettuce
- chickweed
- avocado
- cilantro
- onion
- green pepper
- sunflower seeds
- shiitake sesame dressing :)
I've learned there are medicinal benefits to eating this common weed. It tastes a bit like corn but I also felt some kick as in a peppery flavor. Well last month Fox News showed a clip from Central Park NYC. with Steve Brill on foraging, and yes chickweed was a part of the many natural plants they found.
Here's the link to watch:

But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using WordPress on several websites

I have heard very good things about blogengine.net. Is there a

a blog so I can easily share my experience and views online.
Please let me know if you have any ideas or tips for brand
new aspiring bloggers. Thankyou!
