Dandelion Salad (Pennsylvania Dutch Amish)

I know it may not sound all that appetizing; however if you get some fresh, young dandelion greens from your yard - this salad is super easy to make and absolutely delicious.

young dandelion greens
4 thick slices bacon
½ cup cream
2 Tbsp. butter
2 eggs
1 tsp. sea salt
1 Tbsp. sugar
4 Tbsp. vinegar
½ tsp. ground paprika
black pepper, freshly ground

Wash dandelions and pick over carefully. Roll in cloth and pat dry. Put into a salad bowl and set in warm place. Cut bacon in small cubes, fry quickly and pour over dandelions. Put butter and cream into a skillet and melt over low heat. Beat eggs, add salt, pepper, sugar and vinegar, then mix with the slightly warm cream mixture.

Cook over high heat until dressing is quite thick. Pour, very hot, over the dandelions, stir well and serve.
