I've prepared an early spring detox salad.
Wild spring flowers not only gives us nutritions and vitamins, but also the energy of first spring warm sunbeams when nature burst out of the rest ground.
The taste of flowers is usually sweet and sauer, sometimes slightly bitter, each has a unique flavour and an amazing medicinal effect as well.
When you're picking up your food, try to stay present in the moment, knowing that its life and energy that you're consuming. Touch it and pick it up with respect and gratefulness. Your body will instinctively go towards the colors and smells of herbs that contains compounds which we lack of.
Ingridients:
- wild primrose flowers and leaves (Primula Vulgaris)
- bellis (daisy) flowers and leaves (Bellis Perennis)
- lungworts flowers and leaves (Pulmonaria)
- chickweed (Stellaria Media)
- sweet violet flowers (Viola Odorata)
- white violet flowers (Viola Alba)
- dandelion flowers and leaves (Taraxacum)
- wild garlic (Allium Ursinum)
Preparation:
Wash dandelion and wild garlic leaves and roughly chop it up. Flowers doesn't need washing as they might loose aromatic oils and will become soggy.
Mix leaves and flowers with your favourite dressing. I like to use apple cider vinegar and pumpkin seed oil.
Sometimes I add boiled potatoes and beans or seeds and nuts to it.
But if I don't really find anything like it in my kitchen, I just make this economical and healthy salad, accompanied by a piece of bread. I don't really miss anything else to add to it.
This is interesting and beautiful. 😃
I'm glad you like it!
