Dandelion Salad

Recipe By : Brian Reid DEC Western Research Lab, Palo Alto CA
Serving Size : 0 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Beverages Sauces And Preserves

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
200 g tender, fresh dandelion greens
65 g thinly sliced red onions
2 tomatoes — cut in fourths.
110 g sharp cheddar cheese — grated
2 1/2 ml black pepper
60 ml salad oil
50 ml vinegar
5 ml dill

1. Wash the dandelion greens carefully. Drain well and cut into pieces.

2. Add the onions, tomatoes, and cheese. Toss to mix.

3. Make a salad dressing by mixing the pepper, salad oil, vinegar, and dill.
Dress the salad, toss, and serve.

Author’s Notes:
The U.S. Department of Agriculture once had a big presence in the life
of the average American. Their publications on home canning, gardening, and
cooking found their way into almost every household in the country. The
USDA Food and Nutrition Service still exists, and they still produce books
and pamphlets on every topic having to do with growing, eating, and
analyzing food. In this era of frozen food, microwave ovens, and iceberg
lettuce, there’s much less demand for their books than there once was. In
time for the Bicentennial, the USDA produced a book called Favorite
American Recipes, which is a non-copyrighted collection of traditional
American rural and farm recipes. All are simple and nutritious; most are
also a little dull. Here’s one that I like.

Make sure that you take the dandelion greens from a lawn that has not
been treated with pesticides or anti-growth hormones recently. (Many lawn
fertilizers also contain weed-control hormones). You can substitute a
commercial salad dressing for the oil, vinegar, pepper, and dill.

Difficulty : easy.
Precision : no need to measure.

CHOCOLATE-DIPPED STRAWMBERRIES

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Today’s Imports

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 pt Strawberries with stems on
(preferably a
Long-stemmed variety),
washed and
Patted dry
4 oz Semisweet chocolate

Spread strawberries on a working surface with wax-paper-covered tray
nearby. You will also need one or two bamboo skewers or other picks.

the cooking oil, stirring to mix thoroughly. (The cooking oil will
add a beautiful shine to the completed sweet.) Place melted
chocolate near working surface, but keep chocolate warm.

One at a time, insert the skewer in the stem end of a strawberry and
dip into the chocolate. Lift out and shake any excess chocolate back
into the pot. Place the strawberry on the wax paper and continue
with the remaining berries. The strawberries should set for about 10
minutes before being served.

Chocolate-dipped strawberries can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours,
during which time the chocolate will harden.
