Dandelions with Olive Oil Recipe Video
I love the energy of the dandelions. No matter how hard we try to destroy them they keep coming back. That persistence is something we can all appreciate. Of course they also want to be loved the way the French love their dandelions greens and not disliked the way many Americans dislike the weeds in their lawn. You can pick dandelions from your own backyard but only if your lawn is organic, you wouldn’t want to eat any pesticides or herbicides.
