Discard the roots of the dandellions. Wash really well. If long cut into halves.
Boil about a litre of water with salt.
Add dandellions in small bulks.
Do not close lid. Boil the dandellions for about 5 minutes, enough to make them soften in the parts close to the roots.
Take the dandellions out using a slotted spoon. Set aside to cool.
After the dandellions cool. Add salt, crushed garlic, olive oil and lemon - in this order to dress. Mix to combine.
Move to the fridge to chill and blend.
Garnish with black olives. Goes well with fish dishes in particular.
