An important attribute of any salad is the right dressing. The right dressing, mayonnaise or oil is 50% of the success of the salad. The fact is that the sauce gives the necessary flavor notes for the vegetables, spices and other products to better reveal themselves in the dish.

Instead of homemade mayonnaise or tasty sauce, cheap store-bought dressings are used. For this reason, the taste of salads noticeably deteriorates.
