Step 1:

How do you make Dandelion Salad? Gather the ingredients you'll need. Boil the eggs ahead of time and cool them. Then peel them, rinse them with water, and pat them dry with a paper towel. Drain the liquid from the can of corn. Wash and dry the dill.
Step 2:

Take a salad bowl or a bowl of a suitable size. Grate the boiled eggs on a coarse grater straight into the bowl.
Step 3:

Grate the cheese into the same bowl on a coarse grater. You can use any hard or semi-hard cheese.
Step 4:

Add the corn to the bowl and mix all the ingredients well. Do it gently so you don't crush them.
Step 5:

Dress the salad with mayonnaise to taste and stir.
Step 6:

Set a plating ring on a serving plate and fill it with the salad. Tamp it down well, but try not to press too hard. Remove the ring. Smooth the surface of the salad with a spoon to give it an even shape.
Step 7:

Now decorate it. I used a boiled egg for this. Separate the yolk from the white and grate each on a fine or medium grater. Cover the entire surface of the salad with the white. Form yellow dandelions out of the yolk and the corn kernels you set aside earlier. Use the dill for the stems and leaves. Let the Dandelion salad rest a while to soak, then serve it. Enjoy!

Before serving, it's best to keep the salad in the refrigerator for 30 minutes so the flavors meld.
How do you tell if an egg is fresh? Crack it into a separate bowl. First and foremost, there should be no off smell. The white of a fresh egg will be clear and clean. The yolk shouldn't run; it will be glossy, domed, and uniform.
It's better to make the mayonnaise yourself — it's tastier and healthier. See some interesting homemade mayonnaise recipes here. You can also use not just mayonnaise as a dressing, but also sour cream or plain yogurt. Use them on their own or mix them with mayonnaise in any proportion you like — that will cut the calorie count of the dish.
How do you choose canned corn? Always check the expiration date on the can. If the container is glass, take a close look at the kernels — they should be uniform in size and color, whole, and unblemished. The ingredient list shouldn't include dyes, preservatives, or flavor enhancers.
