Ingredients
 

  • 1 oz (30 g) wild garlic leaves, washed (roughly a large handful, see notes)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • To prepare the wild garlic, wash the leaves thoroughly, dry completely (tea towel or paper towel), and finely chop. You could also use a blender for a smoother final dressing.
  • To a small bowl or jar, add the chopped wild garlic, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Use a spoon or fork to combine everything well.
  • Taste, adjust the seasoning if necessary, and store in the fridge for up to 3 or 4 days.

Notes

Lemon juice: If you don't have apple cider vinegar, lemon juice would work just fine.
Dijon mustard: Since Dijon mustard is traditionally made with white wine, it’s not always strictly vegan. That being said, I’ve seen several varieties around that are labelled vegan and so it's never felt like an issue.
Safe and responsible foraging: Never eat wild food unless you're 100% sure it's safe. If you're new to foraging, it is recommended to learn from knowledgeable experts, attend courses, and refer to multiple recognised resources (books and websites).
Always forage in a public area or make sure you have the landowner's permission if on private land. When picking, only take what you need for personal consumption and never uproot the entire plant (unlawful in the UK under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981).
You can check out my guide to wild garlic if you'd like to learn more.
Storage: This will keep well for up to 3 or 4 days in a sealed container in the fridge. For best flavour and colour, use it as fresh as possible.
