fresh lovage leaves
fresh oregano leaves

fresh thyme leaves
fresh marjoram leaves
young dandelion leaves
young fireweed and/or river beauty (epilobium species) shoots
snips yarrow
edible flowers , as available (nasturtiums, fireweed , begonia petals, borage flowers, violas , pansies, etc. please be certain that a particular species is edible before ingesting!)
snipped chives
3/4 cup light olive oil (fresh flaxseed oil is a nice, nutty substitute)
a dash lemon oil , if available (can be omitted)
a few dashes good quality apple cider vinegar
3/4 cup lighter variety balsamic vinegar
3/4 cup water
a dash umeboshi plum vinegar
1 tbsp minced shallots

1 tbsp finely chopped lovage leaves
dash ground celery seed
dash dry mustard

pinch nigella seeds (can be skipped if unavailable)
small pinch nutmeg
small pinch turmeric

Directions:

Toss greens, herbs, and blossoms together with plenty of snipped chives and lovage leaves. (Tear larger leaves to bite size pieces. A kitchen scissors works well to snip lovage and herbs down to size). Combine dry and liquid dressing ingredients, to taste, in a glass cruet and shake thoroughly before sprinkling over salad greens.
