Original salads

Original salads are an indispensable attribute of any event. And in some families without a salad, there is not a single daily meal. And this is not at all surprising, because salad is not only a very tasty dish, but, in the opinion of many nutritionists, it is also very useful. The first salads were known in ancient Rome. Then they were a mixture of chopped vegetables and served as a side dish for meat dishes. The modern abundance of various products has made its own adjustments to the recipes for the preparation of various salads. Today mistresses, inviting guests to the house or simply wanting to surprise their family, try to serve not traditional but original salads on the table. At first glance, these salads are prepared from the usual products for all the surrounding products, but in their recipe necessarily includes some ingredient that adds to the taste of the salad peculiar "zest".

30 years ago everything was much easier. Then, salads were considered festive dishes and were prepared, for example, by the New Year or by 8 March. At the same time, a limited number of products on the shelves of stores made it possible to put on the table only traditional salads, for example, herring under a fur coat or vinaigrette. Maybe the women would like to surprise the guests and make original salads, but they simply did not have the opportunity.

At present, the situation has changed radically. Gastronomic diversity greatly spoiled the society, and in this connection the hostesses became more and more difficult to impress the people around with unusual dishes. But it's very desirable to surprise, therefore modern women have to use all their imagination in order to treat invited friends or simply to please the family by preparing original salads. For example, the New Year is associated not only with the Christmas tree and gifts, but also with the salad Olivier.

Therefore, the simplest way to impress your friends and relatives is by creating your own original Olivier recipe, adding some unusual ingredients to it.
