Something I love almost as much as my chocolate ~ is BITTER GREENS.
Why you ask!?
These powerful healing leaves actually become quite delicious the more you eat them, PLUS they are amazing for promoting beautiful skin, detoxifying the liver, & encouraging sluggish digestion. Pictured is a fresh crop of dandelion leaves from my small herb garden… also marinated BITTER GREENS.
Bitter Greens

- 1 bunch dandelion leaves
- 1 small bunch radicchio (very bitter!)
- 4 tablespoons cold pressed organic olive oil
- ½ teas celtic salt
- 1 teaspoon agave nectar
- half a lemon - squeezed.
- I sprinkled over a few marigolds to serve.
- Cut out stems as far up as you can using a sharp knife to cut leafy bits off or remove manually
- Chop finely
- add oil, lemon, salt & agave.
YUMMM! Honestly so good. Enjoy a small spoonful with your next tasty vegetarian dish (such as the stuffed mushrooms & rice in Issue # 7) for all the blessings they bestow!
