Evening Republican, Volume 16, Number 134, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 4 June 1912 — Poke Weed Salad. [ARTICLE]

Poke Weed Salad.

Just as soon as the common poke weed begins to project its stout stem above the ground and open its leaves, it is in condition for an ideal spring salad. Only the tenderest tips of the weed should be used and these should be cleansed and cooked like any other green. Drain and pack the cooked vegetable into individual cups, and when it Is cold, turn out the molded forms and serve with French dressing or mayonnaise on lettuce leaves. Pokq weed is also delicious used like spinach. Its flavor, reminds some persons of asparagus.
