My parents always ate the dandelion greens, maybe it's time for me to clear the yard of these babies and try this delicious sounding recipe! Love the dressing here!


It IS a nice dressing, I agree, julia; however, the dressing STILL wouldn't make me like this! I hope you enjoy it and now your dandelions may become more agreeable to you.. lol. Thanks for your five, my friend.
