Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound fresh cranberry beans, shelled (about 1 1/2 cups)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
5 ounces cornbread, cut into 1-inch cubes (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon honey
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
8 ounces dandelion greens, trimmed and cut crosswise into 2-inch pieces (about 4 cups)
1/4 ounce Parmesan cheese, grated (about 2 tablespoons)
1/2 cup small fresh basil leaves

Steps:

  • Place beans in a medium pot and cover with 4 inches of water. Season generously with salt and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer beans until very tender, about 40 minutes; drain. Beans can be stored in refrigerator, in cooking liquid just to cover, up to 3 days; cool completely before refrigerating.
  • Meanwhile, preheat broiler. Spread cornbread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and broil until just golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk together vinegar, garlic, honey, and oil; season with salt and pepper. Combine greens, beans, cheese, and basil in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with dressing and toss with cornbread.

I'm not a huge fan of dandelion greens, but I really enjoyed this salad. The dressing was delicious and the other ingredients balanced out the bitterness of the greens.

This salad was delicious! I loved the combination of flavors and textures. The cranberries added a tart sweetness, the dandelion greens were slightly bitter, and the toasted cornbread added a nice crunch. I will definitely be making this again!
