Miner's Lettuce
By: Sheri Wetherell

About

An edible salad green that grows wild in North America. It has a nice mild flavor and consistency similar to spinach with a slight bit of acidity. The leaves look like miniature lily pads, complete with mini white edible flowers. Available in the sprig and early summer. The tender stems have a fresh green pea flavor. Miner's lettuce makes a gorgeous salad.
