It's true that a bundle of salad mixings can be bought pre-bagged at the neighborhood supermarket. But gathering greens in the most familiar places is much more fun and rewarding for the home cook.

Wild greens and fruits like prickly pears, miner's lettuce, dandelion and New Zealand spinach (plantain) are more flavorful and have a higher nutritional value than commercially cultivated counterparts. Many of these plants and herbs that are commonly disregarded can offer an exciting break from the same old fare.

Glossy, emerald green rosettes of plantain, a spinach substitute, and chickweed, the mild-tasting, common garden pest, can make a delicious salad, alone or combined with mustard and dandelion.
