So, don't be lazy - go to your garden and pick take few dandelion bushes with flowers, but please remove any insects and snails. Try to do not to take too many other grass leaves and old dry branches.

Next step - wash your dandelions. You can wash under runny water, but using a bucket with water will save you a lot. So wash them from all standard garden dirt, and remove old and dried leaves. Remove old flowers and flowers which already make seeds. Later you can cut off the roots.

It is time to make salad dressing and give it some time to mature. Mix all dressing ingredients and set aside. You can check the taste and it should be a bit salty but very lovely.

Julienne carrot and onion. Fry them with a drop of oil. The carrot should be just soft after frying and the onion is better to fry until it turns brown. Set aside to chill them down.

Boil dandelions. They are clean now, so boil enough water and salt it pretty well. Boil dandelions for 5 min.
