Ingredients
  

Salad Base
  • 4 cups dandelion greens washed and chopped
  • 1 cup cucumber sliced thinly
  • 1 2 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 4 cup red onion thinly sliced
Tangy Dressing
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil extra virgin
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice fresh
  • 1 teaspoon honey balances bitterness
  • 1 4 teaspoon sea salt to taste
  • 1 4 teaspoon black pepper optional

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Salad Spinner
  • Knife
  • Serving Bowl
  • Freezer
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Wash dandelion greens thoroughly and dry completely for crisp refreshing salad texture.
  2. Add dandelion greens, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion into a large serving bowl.
  3. Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, honey, sea salt, and black pepper until smooth.
  4. Pour dressing lightly over the salad and toss gently to coat every leafy bite evenly.
  5. Serve immediately for maximum crunch and balanced peppery flavor throughout the salad.

Notes

Serve immediately for crisp greens and fresh texture. Add dressing gradually to avoid soggy leaves. Avoid freezing assembled salad because greens wilt quickly after thawing. Handle dandelion greens gently while tossing to prevent bruising. Customize flavors with goat cheese, walnuts, apples, or avocado. Store undressed greens refrigerated for three days.
