Dandelion Greens with a Kick image

Dandelion greens are one of my favorite bitters! They're not for everyone, but I enjoy their unique flavor. I decided to try them sauteed instead of in a salad and it was a huge hit! Makes good use of those dandelions in the yard or you can usually find dandelion greens at the grocery or Asian market.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 teaspoon salt
1 pound dandelion greens, torn into 4-inch pieces
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover bacon. The dandelion greens are a nice addition and add a bit of bitterness to the dish. I would definitely recommend this recipe to others.

This recipe was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try using less bacon next time.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think I'll add some more spices next time to give it more flavor.

This recipe was a bit too bitter for my taste. I think I'll try adding some honey or maple syrup next time to balance out the flavor.
