Dandelion Greens Salad
Serves: 6
One of the first greens to appear in the markets in the spring is dandelion. Dandelion greens have a slight bitter flavor that is somewhat similar to broccoli rabe. Eaten raw, they are wonderful tossed into salads where they add spice and interest. Lightly boiled, sprinkled with salt and a bit of cider vinegar makes an easy and delicious side dish. In France, where dandelion greens are still very popular – they are often lightly sauteed with bacon and garlic. They can also be used as a substitute for spinach, swiss chard and kale in almost any dish.
