Default What not to plant

The message
from K contains these words:

I haven't done a count, but gut feeling is that I get seedlings of
Alchemilla, dandelions, bittercress, willowherb and violets in roughly
equal proportions.


I have bittercress, some horrid poppy-like plant with small yellow
flowers


Greater celandine. Interesting sap colour. I don't have that. I have the
yellow Mecanopsis in abundance instead :-) (I don't pull those up)

and orange roots, nettle and black nightshade seedlings in
abundance.

A few violets, very few alchemilla, very few (greater) willowherb, and a
few dandelions appear in various places, but as I use the dandelions and
black nightshade, I'm not unhappy about those.

Can you use the dandelions in a mixed salad without blanching?
