Joseph fixed Paleo-style Chicken Piccata and fresh
asparagus for dinner last night, as mentioned in our last post here, and we had about half the chicken left,
so I made a huge hunter/gatherer salad and topped it with the rest.
Romaine, cabbage, celery, carrot, radish, parsley, some of the leftover cooked broccoli and asparagus...and added violet leaves and flowers, garlic mustard (why NOT use those pests, they're GOOD), dandelion leaves and wild garlic. (And a few blackberries, too.)
I used olive oil and dandelion vinegar to dress my salad...SO good. And so easy.
Pick dandelion flowers, enough to fill a pint jar.
Cover with apple cider vinegar.
Put a lid on it, shake at least once a day, strain and use after two weeks.
Dandelions are incredibly good for us, full of nutrients and supporting liver health, so I'm delighted to use them any way I can.
Dinner was delicious, both nights!
And it doesn't get much more Paleo than that.

This was from a week ago, with added carrot, radish, and a bit of cabbage. |
