Wilted Dandelion Salad With Feta Cheese image

A very inexpensive salad. Dandelion leaves, flowers, and roots are all edible if you have an organic yard or store buy! Dandelion is a bitter green. The cheese helps smooth out the bitterness, the honey gives it sweetness and receives saltiness from the bacon, cheese and olives giving this salad an all round full flavor for your taste buds.hese greens are nutritious--high in vitamin A, vitamin C and iron. Also low in calories, fat and cholesterol. As with any green, the younger the plant, the more tender it is. For the safest crop, be sure to pick greens well away from major roads or other chemically treated areas, and wash the greens well before you use them. And they are free! Amount: 3 1/2 ounces.
