Wild Weed Pesto
Wild Weed Pesto-Nettles & Chickweed
The spring is a delicious time in the wild garden, with numerous spring weeds to enjoy. One of my favorite recipes is making wild weed pesto. Feel free to use whatever you have available in terms of fresh, edible weeds such as amaranth greens, chickweed, dandelion, lamb’s quarters, mallow, miner’s lettuce, purslane, nettles, plantain and yellow dock.
