For a taste of New England vegetarian cooking try one of these recipes featured in Claire’s Corner Copia.
Spring Salad, by Claire Criscuolo, RN
Serves 4-6
1 Large bunch organic dandelion greens, about one pound, well washed
8-10 Thin chives
4-5 Young garlic shoots, snipped into ½ inch pieces, or garlic chives
2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
freshly squeezed lemon juice from about ½ lemon, about 2 tablespoons
sea salt and fresh pepper to taste
Look for smaller greens for this simple yet flavorful salad - they are more tender than the older, larger ones. Most bitter greens need a bit more salt for balance, so be prepared. Drizzle a little organic flax/lemon oil over your salad for a brightly flavored dose of your omega-3's.
Combine the dandelion greens, the chives, and the garlic shoots in a serving bowl. Using tongs or two wooden spoons, toss to combine. Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the greens, and toss to coat. Drizzle the lemon juice evenly over the greens, then drizzle the flax/lemon oil evenly over the top, sprinkle with sea salt and pepper, and toss to combine. Taste for seasonings.
