My friend gave me these beautiful dandelion greens from her CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) farm box.  Of course, I took them, cause you know how much I love green food, and wild stuff.  Not sure if these are wild or cultivated.  

 

I haven't ever seen dandelion greens this big, and I wasn't sure how to prepare them.  So I went looking through all my cookbooks:  Not much there, except, it did say to use the young leaves, because they are the most tender.  What do you think?  How can I tell if they are young?  Fresh, I can see.

 

I'll start by adding the little ones to today's salad, then cook what's left.  Keep checking back, I'll let you know if you should try them.......or not.  ;D

 

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
