Dandelion Potato Salad

Yukon Gold potatoes, fresh apples, green onion, red peppers, and dandelion vinaigrette.

Dried dandelion leaves are used in the vinaigrette for this zesty potato salad. Dandelion plants were brought to Canada hundreds of years ago by French colonists. Indigenous people use dandelions for many different medicines. The leaves are used to add flavour to salads, sandwiches and teas, the roots are used in coffee substitutes, and flowers are used to make wines. Dandelion is a generous source of Vitamins A, B, C, D and various minerals. Dandelions grow best in the southern portion of BC.
