12 minutes
The 'Black Sea' salad is a light, refreshing dish filled with the freshness of greens and the juiciness of summer vegetables. Its name refers to the Black Sea coast, where such dishes are popular due to the abundance of natural products. Bright red and yellow cherry tomatoes combined with crunchy radishes and cucumbers create a harmonious palette of flavors. Arugula and spinach add a piquant touch and a slight bitterness to the salad, while garlic adds a hint of spice. Dressed with aromatic unrefined sunflower oil, this salad perfectly complements meat and fish dishes and can also serve as an independent appetizer. Its freshness makes it an ideal choice for a summer lunch or light dinner, highlighting the richness of Russian cuisine. It is easy to prepare but leaves a vivid impression due to its rich taste and health benefits.
