Proper preparation of a salad is the key to a good and tasty dish. Not always salads turn out to cooks. Many can not find a reason for failure in the preparation of such a simple meal. Mistakes lie in the details.
Often products of different temperatures are added to the salad. Mixing hot eggs and cold cheese turns out to be mush. Therefore, the salad becomes a homogeneous mass, which is not particularly presentable.
Also, when cooking vegetables, it is important to keep the skin, so that all the flavors remain inside the products. Otherwise, the salad will be bland. It
is also worth cutting the products correctly. All vegetables, meat components, eggs and cheeses should be cut in the same way.
