Had some in my salad tonight. Not bad when really young. A bit more bitter than romaine maybe. Or an older lettuce in the garden about to go to seed. On the far right of cutting board. Next to that is some dandelion greens, again pretty tasty when young. After that going left are some herbs that are starting to green up, and some onion and garlic tops. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/sxrfy5zr/IMG-20210423-183013471.jpg) Fixed that iceberg lettuce and Mexican Roma tomato salad right up they did.

Love dandelion greens with a HOT bacon dressing.
Mashed taters, deer steak or ham.
Food from childhood, and I would take that over any meal I can
think of.

Certainly would be good in a bacon grease vinaigrette .
If I knew where some nettles were, I might go get some. They should just be coming up.
No ramps here though. Bummer, eh?

Not a vinaigrette.
Fry bacon in a cast iron skillette, remove.
Add flour and make a bunch of a pretty dark roux.
Hit it with a bunch of vinegar and sugar.
A lot of both, sweet sour is the goal. This is usually screwed up due to not enough flavor. Taste, don't burn your tongue.
Any tougher leafy green, endive, tough old leaf lettuce, Romane...
Small chopped onions,
Some add hard boiled eggs, I prefer not to.
You dump that hot dressing on the greens and mix them until they
are all coated and wilted.
No real reciepe, mom learned from her grandmother, wife and I learned from mom.
Pa Dutch staple. The flavor profile is key to German food. Think hot potato salad.

Yeah, but with the vinegar in it.....................it's almost a vinaigrette  That's similar to the no real recipe I use for Italian style greens, mustard, collards and such except I add "Italian" seasonings of course. Oregano, basil, marjoram, thyme, rosemary stuff from the garden. Which reminds me, I have to get some greens planted, we got rain last night so the soil is nice and moist now.
