Wild Spring Flower Salad

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

    1/3 cup wood violet blossoms
    2 cup wood violet leaves
    1 cup young dandelion greens
    1/3. cup sour grass (clover like wood sorrel)
    1/4 cup salad burnet leaves
    4 cup other lettuce
    1/2 cup toasted walnuts
    1/2 cup drained mandarin oranges (from can)
    1/2 cup fresh or partially thawed frozen raspberries
    raspberry or tangerine vineagrette

Directions:

Note: these flowers and greens appear in early spring where im from (Texas), but i think they are pretty common throughout the US.  Take a nice walk in the woods and gather your delicate ingredients, then return home for a lovely, light refreshing salad.

Toast walnuts and cool.  Toss all ingredients and serve on a lovely bright spring day:-)

Serves 4.

this sounds fantastic...any ideas on where to get them commercially, if you live somewhere where the flowers get all sorts of yucky chemicals?
