I actually posted this recipe but they removed it 'cause this one was here. I know I did a search b4 I posted, I always do, so not sure what happened. Anyway this is what I put at the heading of my post. I hope it helps others decide what to do with this great salad: Nice as a salad, side dish or main dish. Found this on Epicurious. I can't find dandelion leaves so I use one or all of the following or do withtout: Belgian Endive, Arugala, and/or Watercress. I've also used white wine vinegar. Sometimes I like to sprinkle some cheese over the top. Try cutting slivers of Parmigiano-Reggiano or Pecorino Romano with a veggie peeler. Also nice with a small wedge or round of soft goat cheese on the side. Add some cut up apples and pears and you have a lovely fall lunch perfect for company or an autumn garden party or tea. Belive it or not, the leftovers make a nice frittata (I WILL frittata anything lol)
