Dandelion Salad

Dandelion greens are best when young and tender, before the plant blooms. For this reason, this salad is best in the spring and early summer. Dandelion greens have a slight bitterness and can be eaten raw or cooked. Surprisingly, dandelions are not indigenous to North America; they were brought over by Europeans in the 1600s. They spread across the continent rapidly and became part of the plant diet of Native Americans. Dandelion greens have more protein and iron than spinach. Lightly dressed with fresh lemon and accented with dill, this is a simple and delicious salad recipe.
