WILTED DANDELION SALAD WITH FETA CHEESE
A very inexpensive salad. Dandelion leaves, flowers, and roots are all edible if you have an organic yard or store buy! Dandelion is a bitter green. The cheese helps smooth out the bitterness, the honey gives it sweetness and receives saltiness from the bacon, cheese and olives giving this salad an all round full flavor for your taste buds.hese greens are nutritious--high in vitamin A, vitamin C and iron. Also low in calories, fat and cholesterol. As with any green, the younger the plant, the more tender it is.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Peel the squash: First cut into two cross sections, scrape out the seeds, and place the squash, flat side down, on a cutting board. Work around the squash with a sharp knife or peeler, making sure to remove the layer of lighter colored flesh under the skin as well as the skin. Dice into 1/2-inch cubes to make about 1 cup (reserve any leftovers for another use).
- Arrange the diced squash and pears on a baking sheet and toss with the oil. Roast until browned, about 20 minutes; set aside at room temperature.
- Make a cross slit on the rounded end of each chestnut with a sharp paring knife. Place on a baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes, or until the cut sections on the bottoms of the nuts just start to curl. Peel the chestnuts as soon as they are cool enough to handle, as they will peel the easiest when hot. Cut into quarters and set aside.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F. Wrap the shallots in parchment paper and then in aluminum foil. Bake until tender and slightly caramelized, about 1 hour. Once the shallots are cool enough to handle, chop coarsely and set aside.
- To make the vinaigrette: In a large sauté pan, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy; transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and reserve the fat in the pan. Once the fat has cooled slightly, strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a measuring cup that has a spout. in a blender or food processor, combine the mustard, honey, vinegar, thyme, and pepper and blend for 30 seconds. Slowly add the strained warm bacon fat and the oil through the cap of the blender or the feed tube of a food processor, blending until thoroughly combined Pour the vinaigrette into a large mixing bowl.
- Add the squash and pears, chestnuts, shallots, bacon, komatsuna, tatsoi, and mustard greens to the mixing bowl and toss with the warm vinaigrette. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- To ensure your mustard greens are not bitter, choose young, tender leaves. If the leaves are mature, remove the tough stems before cooking.
- Bacon adds a delicious smoky flavor to the salad, but you can omit it if you prefer a vegetarian dish.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of vinegar and sugar in the dressing to suit your taste.
- For a more flavorful salad, use a variety of mustard greens, such as Red Giant, Green Wave, and Southern Giant Curled.
- If you don't have shallots on hand, you can use a small onion instead.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
