Dandelion Salad with Aromatic Dressing

8 servings

10 minutes

Dandelion salad with fragrant dressing is an amazing combination of spring freshness and depth of flavor. In Russian cuisine, dandelion is valued for its nutritional properties and mild bitterness, skillfully softened by the aromatic dressing. This salad was popular among villagers who knew the secrets of using wild herbs. Dandelion leaves soaked in a refined mixture of wine vinegar, garlic, and onion salt acquire a rich taste, while a drop of olive oil adds a silky texture. The light sweetness of sugar balances the natural bitterness of the greens. Such a salad pairs perfectly with meat dishes or can be enjoyed as a standalone appetizer, filling the body with vitamins and awakening spring energy.
