- Comments: To make salad, Vicki Vermeer gathers miner's lettuce, a succulent tender green which grows abundantly on her 10-acre ranch. This wild native got its name from the gold miners who sought its freshness in their limited diet. Miner's lettuce (Montia perfoliata) thrives in moderate climates throughout the West from late winter to early spring. Sometimes it's sold at farmers' markets. As a substitute, use baby spinach leaves.
