Spring Wild Edible Salad - 18 Weeds, Trees and Flowers

Spring is such a great time for foraging and eating wild edible salads. In this salad, I've got 18 different plants -- some weeds, some trees, and some flowers.

It's easy to make great wild edible salads once you know how to identify the plants. Here are three tips: (1) Pick clean. (2) Pick organized, so there's no contamination from plants that nobody should eat, and (3) Cut everything into small pieces. That really mixes the flavors of all the plants.

Here are the plants:
1. Tulips - Tulipa spp.
2. Wild field mustard flowers - Brassica rapa
3. Apple flower petals - Malus spp.
4. Purple deadnettle - Lamium purpureum
5. Hop shoots - Humulus lupulus
6. Hedge mustard - Sisymbrium officinale
7. Arugula - Eruca sativa
8. American Elm seeds and leaves - Ulmus americana
9. Wild Lettuce - Lactuca serriola
10. Lemon Balm - Melissa officinalis
11. Hawthorn tree leaves - Crataegus spp.
12. Bittercress - Cardamine hirsuta
13. Nipplewort - Lapsana communis
14. Dandelion leaves and flowers - Taraxacum officinale
15. Tamarack needles - Larix laricina
16. Chickweed - Stellaria media
17. Cat's-ear - Hypochaeris radicata
18. English Daisy - Bellis perennis
