Salads. Here is really an unlimited field of activity for a good culinary fantasy. Of all the dishes, this category is my favorite, because you can experiment endlessly.

Most often, new recipes appeared in my head spontaneously, due to the catastrophic lack of time and the urgent need to put a delicious and beautiful dish on the table.
