Posted on April 28, 2019June 8, 2022

Sprouting up are dandelions– going full speed ahead! If you’d like to make yourself a salad bursting with nutrients and flavor, this is for you!

Foraging Tips:

You might see dandelion growing along the edge of the sidewalk or by the road– DO NOT PICK THESE! It’s probable that they’ve been sprayed with an herbicide, which could be toxic to you. Make sure that you focus on harvesting herbs that are at least 40 feet from the roadside: and that you are also 100% sure have not been sprayed.

Try to pick dandelion leaves that are still small and tender– these have the best flavor and have not turned too bitter yet.

Ingredients:

For the salad:

3 cups of dandelion greens 1/2 cup quinoa

arugula greens (optional, if available)
