Resurrecting this Facebook post from two years ago as I just trimmed my lime trees for early spring lime leaf salad. Here’s what I wrote two years ago:
“When I was in Denmark a few weeks ago, I met a guy who forces lime / lind leaves, probably the native tree in Europe with the best tasting leaves! What a good idea…yet another way of getting off-season greens! Forcing tree twigs into growth inside is often done in winter anyway to brighten up our homes…so why not eat them too…”
Lime leaves bottom right with various other perennial salad greens for tonight’s salad… From 8 o’clock and clockwise: Hablitzia / Stjernemelde; Giant Bellflower / Storklokke; overwintered parsley and leaf celery / persille og bladselleri; Dandelion / Løvetann; Allium senescens / nutans hybrid and Scorzonera (at 3 o’clock); Lime / Lind and Apium nodiflorum at the bottom; in the middle is Sweet Cicely / Spansk Kjørvel Lady’s Mantle / Marikåpe and Ground Elder / Skvallerkål
