Each of these sites has multiple recipes for dandelions, both raw and cooked. I like to pick fresh dandelion greens from the backyard and add them to salad where the lettuces are softer and sweeter. The fresh dandelion gives the mix a bit of tang and bite.

The first mention of the Dandelion as a medicine is in the works of the Arabian physicians of the tenth and eleventh centuries, who speak of it as a sort of wild Endive, under the name of Taraxcacon. In England, there is allusion to it in the Welsh medicines of the thirteenth century. Dandelion was much valued as a medicine in the times of Gerard and Parkinson, and is still extensively employed.
