Put the whole plants in a bowl or sink of cold water, rubbing off the soil. Keep changing the water until it is clear. I just air dry the roots. Some people dry them in the oven to create a dandelion coffee. I'm a tea drinker myself.
Note: These roots are medicinal and there are contraindications for certain medications and medical conditions.

Time for a salad of dandelion greens, kohlrabi and radishes with lashings of my favorite salad dressing from Little Creek. This morning I had dandelion greens with my scrambled eggs and I just noticed David Lebowitz has a recipe on his blog for dandelion pesto. Sounds like a brilliant idea!
