Dandelion Greens with a Kick

Dandelion Greens with a Kick

Dandelion greens are one of my favorite bitters! They’re not for everyone, but I enjoy their unique flavor. I decided to try them sautéed 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.
