Salads have become an important part of every person’s daily life. It is impossible to find a restaurant or cafe that does not serve salads. This is a basic dish used for lunch and dinner.
Many people think that salads are very easy to prepare. But, not always the same salad from a professional chef and an amateur cook turns out the same. The thing is that the cook adheres to simple rules of cooking.
For example, cooks cut the ingredients in the same way. Different slicing of products contributes to the fact that the flavor of the salad drags some one ingredient. Also do not combine hot and cold products in the dish.
