A recipe from Taleh Gamidov, chef of the Zafferano City restaurant. Watermelon goes well with salty flavors like feta cheese, as well as with bread. The combination may seem strange at first glance, but believe me, the taste is simply excellent and watermelon will open up to you in a completely new way.

A recipe from Maria Goryacheva, chef of the Polet restaurant. The taste of hot sweet potatoes really benefits from the combination with a cold cucumber sauce made from sour cream. The green salad seems to live on the plate by itself, but in fact everything here plays along and drinks with each other: the crunch of almond petals, the viscous tenderness of the sweet potato, and the greens that refresh the taste. All in all, it's a complete independent dish that doesn't require any meat or side dish.

Light corn salad is an exquisite blend of tenderness and freshness. Known for its soft leaves and nutty flavor, corn salad pairs perfectly with juicy tomatoes, tangy olives, and crunchy flaxseeds. Dressed with a hint of sunflower oil and lightly seasoned with salt, this salad reveals its natural richness while highlighting the ingredients' inherent aromas. Its origin is inspired by modern healthy eating trends, and the minimalist preparation makes it an ideal complement to pasta, meat dishes or a light snack on its own, especially when paired with crackers and cream cheese. This salad does not overwhelm the taste buds; rather, it refreshes while allowing enjoyment of the simplicity and balance of natural products.

I came up with this salad myself. It will be a great addition to meat or a standalone dish for vegetarians. I recommend not overcooking the cabbage so that it remains slightly crispy.
