The low‑calorie dandelion salad with sour cream sauce and croutons is rich in water‑draining potassium and bitter compounds that stimulate digestion.

Ingredients

  • 200 g young dandelion
  • 75 g whole‑grain toast (3 slices)
  • 10 g butter (2 tsp)
  • 100 g Sour cream
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 1 tsp liquid honey

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Wash the dandelion leaves thoroughly, spin dry, trim and cut into bite‑sized pieces.

  2. 2.

    Cut the toast into about 1 cm cubes and roast them in a large non‑stick pan over low heat until golden brown; remove from the pan. Wipe the pan with kitchen paper.

  3. 3.

    Melt the butter in the still hot pan, toss the bread cubes in it, and let them cool on a plate.

  4. 4.

    Whisk the sour cream with 4 tbsp water, salt, and pepper to make the salad sauce. Adjust sweetness with honey.

  5. 5.

    Combine the chopped dandelion leaves with the sour cream sauce, serve portions, and sprinkle with croutons.
