Lunch ~ Pickled Fiddlehead Salad

Fiddleheads are usually only available for a brief time in the spring. They are the coiled, young fern  plant before they grow and spread. I typically buy them as soon as they're in the marketplace. Later in the year, I am able to enjoy pickled fiddleheads, as shown below.

Lunch: A salad of romaine lettuce, summer squash, zucchini, topped with alfalfa sprouts and pickled fiddleheads, vegan chicken, croutons, and chopped strawberries.
