Yes, this is a dandelion! It looks exactly the same as the common yellow one, but flowers are white.

Dandelions are garden allies. They provide food for pollinators early in the season, and their long taproots pull nutrients to the surface, which improves soil quality. They also help break up compacted soil and heavy clay.

Harvest the greens to eat and save the remaining foliage to make tea at the end of the season.
