Dandelions in your lawn may drive you crazy, but they can also drive you crazy in a good way – when they are on your plate! Yes, you can eat them and they are packed with great nutrients and flavor! Note: if you use pesticides on your lawn, don’t eat. Please get your dandelion greens from a farmers market or grocer.

Your grandma probably was sauteing dandelion greens way before it was popular (go, Grandma!). Raw dandelions are a bitter green, so cooking them is the way to go. Try Sauteed Dandelion Greens to get your sea legs with this green!

Feeling like you want to experiment more? Make Dandelion Greens with Double Garlic! Whoa! Move on to Sauteed Mushroom Salad and then fruits, crunchy Dandelion Greens with Currants and Pine Nuts.

Looking for an entree? Enjoy Mussels with Linguine and Dandelion Greens and hearty Annelleti Pasta with Sausage and Greens for a satisfying Friday night dinner!
