Recipe: Dandelion Salad with Radishes
WHB #180
April 21, 2009

Dandelion is emerging from winter dormancy, and producing new leaves.
To be honest, they're too few to be harvested, but spring leaves are sweet and tender, perfect for a small salad.
You should know that dandelium contains many useful vitamins and minerals, like Calcium. So yes it's infesting but don't call it weed! If you harvest dandelion, you will think you never have enough.

This is my salad: it's a small salad, but I harvested all ingredients, and that makes it great!
