How often have you come across salads with a very strange set of ingredients? And how many of these salads ended up tasting good?
It often happens that experiments with this dish end in failure. The reason is that the flavors of these or those products are not combined. In culinary schools there is a concept of non-complimentary ingredients. That is, products that can not be mixed with each other.
