Wilted Dandelion Greens Salad image

If you can't beat 'em, eat 'em. That's my motto. Dandelions are much more than a seasonal lawn annoyance. In addition to salads, dandelions make good jelly, wine, coffee and salad. Remember, though, to never pick dandelions in areas that have been sprayed with weed killer.-Noami Giddis, Grawn, Michigan

I love the combination of flavors and textures in this salad. The dandelion greens are bitter, the bacon is salty, and the walnuts are crunchy. It's all so good together.

This salad was a bit too bitter for my taste. I think I'll try it again with a different dressing.

This dandelion greens salad is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy this often-overlooked green. The slightly bitter flavor of the dandelion greens is perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the dressing, and the bacon and walnuts add a nice crunch. I
