My dad went dandelion hunting every spring into the forest preserves. He’d bring home bags and bags and his brothers would come by the house to get their share. The way he’d make it is this: He’d saute bacon until crisp and make a warm bacon dressing with the drippings. He’d add the bacon, sliced hard boiled eggs (cut into wedges…always), diced boiled new potatoes, and then the dressing to the greens while the dressing was still hot. We were directed to eat it while warm. Dandelion greens did not wait! I loved that dish almost as much as his spaghetti. We have a market that sells organic dandelion greens. Pricey, but well worth it. I just made it last month and my daughter told me she did as well. Warm dandelion salad is slightly bitter, iron-y, and wonderful! It is the one dish that will instantly transport me to my childhood.
