I love bitter green salads. Chicory is one of my favorites, but Dandelion in the cusp of winter to spring is really fabulous. Add a few olives and a citrus dressing and this salad is as good as it gets.
Special equipment for this recipe?
If you wish, as salad bowl and salad servers is a nice touch.
Also, a jar to shake up the dressing makes the execution much easier. You could also just use a bowl and whisk, or a mini food processor.
Can I make this recipe ahead?
Yes, you can wash, dry and combine the dandelion and chicory and store them in an air tight bag for at least 1 day. You can make the salad dressing up to one week in advance.
When ready to serve, just add the olives, bee pollen, dress and you are set.
Can I freeze this recipe?
No
What to serve with this recipe?
I paired this salad with Lion’s Mane Mushroom Skewers. But this salad is a great start to Italian inspired dishes, such as Stuffed Calamari.
