Yes, I know... I know, little weeds from your lawn, but they're young and tender at this time of the year. They have a delicious, slightly bitter flavor---AND, are positively loaded with vitamin A & C. Just make sure if you pick them they aren't where they get sprayed with road dirt or chemicals.
Yep:
Get your basket and pick a whole bunch of dandelion leaves. Wash the leaves well, set them aside.
Fry some bacon until it's crisp. Crumbled it. Set it aside.
To the grease left in the frying pan add a cup of water and a little sugar, to taste. Turn up the heat to high. Stir until it starts to boil. To the boiling mixture add a half cup water into which you've stir and thoroughly mixed a couple teaspoons of flour. ( The flour and water mixture is to thicken the dressing for your dandelion salad. )
When the dressing mix is thickened add a little black pepper, if you wish. Take it off the stove and pour it immediately over bowls filled with the dandelion greens. Add the crumbled bacon on top...
Oh, yum!
