Dandelion Greens Or Arugula And Avocado Salad
Inspired by jessica k's wonderful recipe (#136460). important notes: while i can buy tender arugula at trader joe's, i find that the supermarket dandelion leaves are all pretty tough, even the organic ones. so it would be better to pick some fresh young dandelion leaves from a lawn that is not chemically treated. regarding amounts of ingredients for this salad: normally i am pretty flexible when giving amounts for salads, but i will say this: when using bitter greens such as dandelion, or peppery/pungent greens such as arugula, make sure you have enough milder veggies (such as tomato, avocado, cuke, etc.) to counter the sharpness of those greens.
