Pretty Little Dandelion

Talk about a mean salad! Wow! This one is the best for purifying and building the blood. It is high in vitamins and minerals. High source of calcium. It makes for a good liver cleanser; it increases the activity of the liver and the flow of bile into the intestines.
When picking dandelion for salads, pick the smaller most tender leaves. The roots can be dried and ground into a powder to make tea. My brother-in-law used to make some pretty good wine out of the dandelion.
It has been used for the following: Anemia, arthritis, bladder, blood purifier, diuretic, digestion, liver cleanse, gout...just to name a few.
Note:Disclaimer at bottom of blog-list.

I mix dandelion leaf with assorted lettuces to make an attractive salad; topped with oil and vinegar.
