Weed Salads: TOP 3 healthy food recipes

In the spring, to replenish the supply of vitamins in the body, it is not necessary to buy only vegetables and herbs on the market. Nature during this period gives a lot of plants that can be eaten. And it's not just about the traditional sorrel or wild cherry. You can even prepare salads from weeds that grow in the field, garden, or vegetable garden. These include shepherd's bag, nettle, dandelions, wild chicory, and others.
