Dandelion Salad

I remember as a kid going to a great aunt's house out in the country. Upon arriving us kids were given the task of going out and gathering dandelions. My great aunt would have a big kettle of water boiling ready to cook them up. Dandelion greens have made a bit of resurgence and can be bought canned at some supermarkets.

dandelion greens
1/4 cup vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
1 can lima beans, drained
1 tomato, cut up

Pick dandelion greens by the whole plant, trim off roots and remove marred leaves. Place greens in pan, wash several times and drain. Chop greens fine, place in mixing bowl and add salt, vinegar and olive oil. Mix well, add lima beans and tomato. Toss together.
