Ingredients

For the stars

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

For the dressing

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

Preparation

  1. Make the stars:

    Step 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. Make the dressing:

    Step 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.

    Step 3

    Add the dandelion greens, the sorrel leaves, and the stars to the bowl and toss the salad well.
