Re: chickweed salad
Bobbi, lamb's quarters don't taste bad. Not a lot of flavor there, as I
recall. But I think they are chock full of vitamins and minerals. I also
taste tested purslane this summer. Again, not a bad flavor--possibly a
little peppery. I didn't go so far as to take it into the kitchen. Maybe
a little salad dressing would make a difference. I really should try
that. I get enough purslane here during the course of the summer to feed a
sizable army.
