A family recipe for her Mom’s Spinach Salad in the spring American Farmland Trust newsletter features spring greens we'll see soon in gardens and Farmer's Markets.   It was contributed in honor of her Mom by Stephanie Castle who manages AFT’s New York Women for the land program.   American Farmland Trust is one of the first U.S. organizations to collaborate with experts in many "fields" to address both the needs of farmers and the environment.

Pay attention to spring blades of tender green “rising”; signs of resurrection.  My great-grandma picked tender dandelion greens for salad or fried them as her “spring tonic”.  Since childhood in the "old country", she had foraged for seasonal eats.  Spring greens from the wild, your garden, a Farmer’s Market or Co-op will add to this recipe for Spring Layered Salad.  According to Civil Eats, home cooking is a cornerstone of a sustainable food system!
