- 4 slices of homemade-style white bread
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/8 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon raspberry vinegar
- 2 teaspoons water
- 1/4 teaspoon sugar
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 5 cups lightly packed small tender dandelion greens, rinsed and spun dry
- 3 cups lightly packed sorrel leaves, rinsed and spun dry
- 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.
- 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.
- Add the dandelion greens, the sorrel leaves, and the stars to the bowl and toss the salad well.
