I recommend picking them when the leaves are first unfolding in the early spring and tossing the raw leaf into salads. Also, the close-cropped, yard variety of the dandelion is bitter and tough. The best specimens are obtained from fields or roadsides where they grow uncontrollably. Dandelion greens are wonderful.

Thanks for sharing this. Her salad looks very tasty -- I've also made a Greek variation that uses lightly cooked dandelion with some feta. Yum!
