Chicken Involtini with dandelion cream cheese filling
Contributor
"Dandelion greens are known as weeds or rabbit food, but they're actually quite a versatile ingredient in the kitchen. Their delicate and bitter flavor pairs perfectly with spicy sauces and grilled meats. You can eat them raw in a salad or sauté it. I would recommend cooking with dandelion greens in spring, since that's when they're most tender!"
