What goes with Dandelion Greens?
Dandelion greens have a persistent bitter edge rather than the quick peppery sting of rocket. The narrow leaf blade can be tender, but the central rib and basal stalk become tougher with maturity. Treat the bunch as a variable ingredient: young inner leaves and larger outer leaves need different cuts, seasoning and cooking.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Dandelion Greens?
Beans, egg and gently cooked garlic provide a broad, savoury frame for the leaf. Sweet squash can interrupt bitterness through soft flesh and roasted edges, while chewy grains extend the bite. Keep acidic dressing measured and integrated with fat: a large splash of acid over dry, strongly bitter leaves can feel severe.
