Notes
IMPORTANT: Never use or consume dandelions that have been treated with lawn care chemicals, weed killer, bug spray or any other chemicals.MORE TIPS:
We used oranges in our recipe, but any citrus works well. Try it out with grapefruit or tangerines!
You can also leave out the citrus and instead add any other things you would add to a salad -- arugula, nuts, shaved cheese, fried bacon bits, etc. Don't be afraid to play around with it.
