About

This is something my Grandma made every summer.  I came back to it not so long after, when I was looking for Passover recipes.  Dandelions are regularly part of a Seder, often being prepared in the same fashion as my grandmothers Sunday salad.  It seems what some would call a weed, has brought flavor to feasts the world over.
