GREENS OF THE WILDERNESS SALAD



Greens of the Wilderness Salad image

The wilderness is filled with greens, from grassy glade and mossy rock to the leaves upon the trees. But how to celebrate this verdant splendor, when one eats neither grass nor moss, neither leaf-lined branch nor bud? The salad bowl is just the place for a pageant of greenery, as one can fill it with a tender mix of lush edibles scooped from the field. We prefer a wild salad to be austerely dressed; too much accessorizing can distract from its simple beauty. A drizzle of lemon and oil and perhaps a scattering of edible blooms are all that are needed here.

This is Ree's favorite salad to serve at a BBQ. You don't have to stick to these exact ingredients-anything that is green can go in. Switch things up with asparagus, Granny Smith apples or anything else you fancy-as long as it's green!
