Dandelions are among the first flowers that bloom in the Spring. Many regard these plants as weeds, but did you know that all parts of the dandelion are edible and nutritious? Saute the greens and serve with a warm bacon dressing (or use a good balsamic to avoid the bacon). Throw the green in raw with other salad greens. Make tea with the roots. And, from The Splendid Table, bake some dandelion cookies. Growing your own dandelion is so inexpensive as well.
