Dandelion Green Salad

If you haven't tried dandelion greens yet, now is the time. At first bite, your tastebuds will be surprised by the bitterness of the greens, but if you're a fan of radicchio, you'll love it by the second bite. This salad is the perfect introduction to it: creamy chickpeas, fluffy quinoa, and scallions, coated in an olive oil vinaigrette. Studies have also shown notable health benefits of dandelion greens including: regulation of blood pressure, liver detoxification, digestive aid, and bone strength. Pay attention to how your body feels after eating this salad, you might be pleasantly surprised.

Salad

1 bunch dandelion greens, washed and chopped
2 cups cooked quinoa
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
6 small scallions, chopped
1/2 small fennel bulb, very thinly sliced (optional) Vinaigrette
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup champagne vinegar (we like this one)
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Stir all vinaigrette ingredients together. Set aside.
Step 2: Combine all salad ingredients in a bowl. Add the vinaigrette and stir to coat. If preparing this salad for a meal prep, do not skip the step of adding the dressing - as it helps to marinate all the ingredients, and actually tastes just as good (maybe even better) the next day.
Serve: Enjoy. This salad is great on it its own, or with a side of avocado.
