Nutritional values

Young dandelion leaves are well-suited for this aromatic spring salad, which stimulates digestion and kidney function. Dandelion contains particularly high levels of potassium, which can aid in losing weight.

If you want to save some fat, use low fat sour cream instead of regular sour cream.
