Dandelion Dressing image

This is made in early spring, usually Easter, when the new dandelions are sweet and crisp. It is from my grandma, Callie Brosius, who was Pennsylvania Dutch and a great cook. This is usually served with boiled potatoes with ham at Easter.

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

7 slices bacon
2 eggs, beaten
½ cup white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup mayonnaise
⅓ cup apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups milk
¾ pound torn dandelion greens

Steps:

  • Fry bacon in a large skillet set over medium heat until crisp. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels. Reserve about 3 tablespoons of the drippings in the skillet.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, salt, mayonnaise, and cider vinegar. Set aside. Heat the bacon grease in the skillet over medium heat. Whisk in the flour until smooth. Cook, stirring constantly, until the flour is browned, about 10 minutes.
  • Gradually whisk in the milk so that no lumps form and bring to a boil while stirring constantly. Pour a little hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly; transfer egg mixture to the skillet. Crumble the bacon into the skillet and add the dandelion greens. Cook and stir just until the greens are wilted and heated through.

This dressing is a bit too bitter for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if there was more honey or lemon juice to balance out the bitterness of the dandelion greens.

I found this dressing to be a bit too thin. I would have preferred it if it was a little thicker and creamier.

This dandelion dressing is a delightful combination of flavors. The bitterness of the dandelion greens is perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the honey and the tanginess of the lemon juice. I used it on a simple salad of mixed greens, tomatoes, an
