Red Bell Peppers & Red Dandelion GreensOur theme this week is RED starting at one end of the spectrum and moving our way thru the rainbow! This week let's taste roasted red peppers and red dandelion greens. Red Peppers are a delicious and refreshing treat airing on the side of sweet rather than hot. These can be great eaten in slices alone or dipped in hummus or sour cream! Dandelion Greens are often foraged, find them in your backyard, so long as your lawn is pesticide free there should be some tasty little morsels out there ready to eat. Dandelion greens can often be bitter so they are often best steamed, blanched or cooked in some way to ease the taste!

I made the dandelion pumpkin seed pesto. My son said "it was gross at first, then it tasted really good". Score for something new.
