Weed and Romaine Salad

[mishalak]

With olive oil and (fake) balsamic vinegar as dressing. In there is one of the last romaine lettuce heads I will buy this season (the lettuce is getting to eating size!) and a whole bunch of garden weeds like purslane, goosefoot, and colewort. The only one of those I planted was the colewort (Eruca sativa) which is also called by the fancy name of arugula. Goosefoot (Chenopodium album) which tastes like spinach is a really common weed in my part of the world and I have never had to take care to plant it. Ditto purslane (Portulaca oleracea). Eat them in moderation as like spinach they are high in oxalates.

Also I have many of my garden paths in brick now so I figured take a picture out there.
