Dandelion Salad with Warm Bacon Dressing

This vibrant dandelion salad with warm bacon dressing is a wonderful way to enjoy bitter seasonal greens. The peppery, slightly nutty flavour of tender dandelion leaves provides a sophisticated base that stands up perfectly to a rich, savoury dressing. By using the natural oils from the bacon to wilt the leaves slightly, you create a dish that feels indulgent yet remains a light and nutritious addition to your recipe repertoire.

As a diabetes-friendly option, this recipe focuses on high-quality fats and punchy acids rather than sugars to build depth of flavour. It works beautifully as an elegant starter for a spring lunch or as a side dish alongside grilled chicken or fish. For the best results, ensure you use young, tender leaves which offer a milder taste than more mature plants.
