Cooking instruction summary:

Wash the dandelion well in a solution of water and raw cider vinegar, using a couple of tablespoons of vinegar to about a litre of water. Wash and spin dry all the greens. Pop all the ingredients into a pestle and mortar or food processor and pound/blitz till nearly smooth - I like to leave a little texture to my pesto but play around with it. And that's it! Pretty simple and very scrummy.
