Dandelion and Sorrel Salad with Paprika Stars Recipe

  • 4 slices of homemade-style white bread
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/8 teaspoon paprika

  1. Cut out as many stars as possible from the bread with a small star-shaped cutter, in a skillet cook them in the oil over moderately low heat, turning them, until they are golden, and in a small bowl toss them with paprika and salt and pepper to taste.
  2. In a large bowl whisk together the vinegar, the water, the sugar, and salt and pepper to taste, add the oil in a stream, whisking, and whisk the dressing until it is emulsified.
  3. Add the dandelion greens, the sorrel leaves, and the stars to the bowl and toss the salad well.
