- Dandelion
- Commonly considered a weed, dandelions provide excellent salad leaves when young (larger, older leaves become bitter). The flowers can add a vibrant colour to a dish. In some parts of Europe, cultivated varieties are available that have longer, more tender leaves. These are available from specialist herb growers in the UK. Wild varieties should be picked early in the year when the leaves are small and sweet. Take care, as they may have been chemically sprayed.
