Green Instead Of Blue

Foraged Greens

 

It was meant to be a bluebell walk, but the bluebells were cowering from the cold, skulking in the rain.

Instead, I came home with a handful of foraged greens, rain-washed and glistening.

A bundle of wild garlic was dropped into a bottle of olive oil, to linger and infuse.  The rest was chopped into a salad along with the bitter dandelion and the pretty goosegrass, whose leaves taste like pea shoots.

A green day, then, rather than a blue one.

Wauw, this is so good for the eyes, and I can only imagine how spring-ish it tasted and how full of vitamin´s you are right now. What a green treat!
