Dandelion Salad
~ from Cooking with Anne of Green Gables

4 cups lightly packed dandelion leaves
3 slices bacon
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon white vinegar
2 tablespoons sour cream
¼ teaspoon pepper

Wash and carefully drain dandelion leaves, then place them in a bowl.  Cook the bacon in a frying pan until crisp.  Remove bacon and drain on a paper towel.  Briefly cook the onion in the bacon fat.  Add brown sugar and stir until dissolved.  Remove from heat and add vinegar.  Let cool for 10 minutes and add sour cream while stirring slowly.  Let stand until room temperature.  Sprinkle dressing over the leaves and crumble the bacon on top.  Lightly dust the top with pepper and serve.  Serves 4.

Dainty Sandwiches
~ from Beyond Green Gables

Pinwheel Style – Cut the crust from the top of a fresh loaf of bread; turn loaf on its side and cut 1/3 inch lengthwise slices.  Remove crusts and roll each slice once with a rolling pin to keep bread from breaking.  Spread each slice with butter and filling (of your choice).

Place a row of olives or chopped pickles along the edge nearest to you; when rolled this will make a distinct centre in the pinwheel.  Instead, strips of pimento can be placed on the filling at regular intervals to form a pattern when rolled.  Roll sandwiches, starting at the edge that has the edge of olives or pickles; wrap and chill.  Cut in 1/3 inch slices.
