True Lemon Sauteed Dandelion Greens

Ingredients

  • 2

    handfuls of dandelion greens, washed

  • 1 tbsp

    olive oil

  • 3

    cloves of garlic, minced

  • Salt (to taste)


  • 2

    packets True Lemon

  • Cooked bacon pieces (optional)


Directions

  1. Heat olive oil and minced garlic in a skillet. Cook garlic for about 2-4 minutes until fragrant, then add dandelion greens.
  2. Cook on medium-high for about 3-5 minutes or until just wilted. Do not overcook, as the greens will quickly begin to lose nutrients.
  3. Sprinkle salt and True Lemon over the top, along with bacon pieces (if using). Serve warm.

Recipe Notes

Tips: When picking dandelions, remember there are other plants that look similar so be careful with your selection. People allergic to ragweed, chamomile or daisies may also be allergic to dandelions. Avoid eating if you have gallstones or gall bladder issues. Dandelions can interact with antacids, quinolone antibiotics, and lithium.
