My New Roots - Dandelion Greens with Ghee-Poached Radishes and Smoked Salt

I gave this recipe a try the other week after realizing that the local Wegman's stocked Dandelion Greens.


I found the radishes to be quite delightful and really enjoyed the salad though my wife was not as big of a fan of the strong taste of the dandelion greens.  I found the organic dandelion greens I used tended to have pretty small leaves which made them a bit of a pain to strip off the thicker stems (I read somewhere not to eat the stem because it is even more bitter).  It felt like a lot of work when I could have accomplished the same thing with a bag of organic arugala (a substitute the recipe recommends).  This would also have the benefit of saving some money and giving me extra greens I can mix in with other salads.

I'll probably make this recipe again and skip the dandelions next time.
