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?
