Springtime means dandelion salad at my house. Dandelions are one of the best spring tonics. They are loaded with potassium and calcium, and are great for detoxifying the liver and kidneys. I had already planned to make a salad with them when this arrived at my house. I knew I wanted to add some fruit to my dandelion salad, and once these figs arrived I knew they were the perfect thing. A little sweetness to balance out the bitter greens. This is a salad I will be making again.
Dandelion Fig Salad
For Salad Combine:
2 c. dandelion greens
2 figs, cut into quarters
3 walnuts, chopped
1 T. dried unsweetened cranberries
For dressing combine:
juice of 1 orange
1 tsp. raspberry balsamic vinegar
1 tsp. dijon mustard
The salad serves one, I had dressing left over for at least one or two more salads because I don't like my salad to be swimming in dressing.
