Dandelion Salad

Note: I have not yet tried this recipe, but I plan to.

Dandelion greens have a slightly bitter taste, but are otherwise a good component in many salads. Here's a simple recipe that offers an alternative to lettuce.

You will need: In a medium bowl toss together the dandelion greens, red onion, and tomatoes. Season with basil, salt, and pepper.
 * 1/2 lb torn dandelion greens
 * 1/2 red onion, chopped
 * 2 tomatoes, chopped
 * 1/2 tsp dried basil
 * salt and pepper to taste

Serves 4.
