There are many different kinds of salads in the world. Each recipe is different with its own set of ingredients. You can tell where a salad is from by the ingredients. For example, salads with olives are often prepared in Greece, and dishes with cheeses – in Italy. Salads with herring are characteristic of Finland and Norway, and dishes with fruit – for southern countries.
Meat salads are prepared in Germany, and salads with canned products – in the CIS countries. That is, all cooks try to stick to the set of products that is characteristic of their region.
If you are constantly preparing the same salads, it is worth moving away from the usual recipes.
