Spinach, Dandelion Leaves Dressed Like

When spinach is out of season, dandelion leaves may be substituted for it. The young leaves only should be used, and they may be boiled and served just like spinach. As they shrink very much in boiling, a large quantity will be required for a moderate-sized dish. Turnip-tops, beetroot-tops, and even young nettles, as we have remarked elsewhere, may all be used as substitutes for spinach.
